Halfway Between 5 and 46

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 46?" 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=46.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 46, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 46 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 46)/2 = 25.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 46 is 25.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 25.5 and subtract 25.5 from 46 and compare the two numbers:

25.5 - 5 = 20.5
46 - 25.5 = 20.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 20.5 higher than 5 and 20.5 lower than 46. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 25.5 above is correct.
