Halfway Between 5 and 472

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 472?" 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=472.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 472, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 472 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 472)/2 = 238.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 472 is 238.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 238.5 and subtract 238.5 from 472 and compare the two numbers:

238.5 - 5 = 233.5
472 - 238.5 = 233.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 233.5 higher than 5 and 233.5 lower than 472. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 238.5 above is correct.
