Halfway Between 5 and 478

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 478?" 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=478.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 478, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 478 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 478)/2 = 241.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 478 is 241.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 241.5 and subtract 241.5 from 478 and compare the two numbers:

241.5 - 5 = 236.5
478 - 241.5 = 236.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 236.5 higher than 5 and 236.5 lower than 478. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 241.5 above is correct.
