Halfway Between 5 and 422

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 422?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=422.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 422, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 422 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 422)/2 = 213.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 422 is 213.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 213.5 and subtract 213.5 from 422 and compare the two numbers:

213.5 - 5 = 208.5
422 - 213.5 = 208.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 208.5 higher than 5 and 208.5 lower than 422. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 213.5 above is correct.
