Halfway Between 5 and 47

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 47?" 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=47.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 47, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 47 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 47)/2 = 26

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 47 is 26.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 26 and subtract 26 from 47 and compare the two numbers:

26 - 5 = 21
47 - 26 = 21

As you can see, the halfway number is 21 higher than 5 and 21 lower than 47. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 26 above is correct.
