Halfway Between 5 and 48

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 48?" 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=48.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 48, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 48 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 48)/2 = 26.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 48 is 26.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 26.5 and subtract 26.5 from 48 and compare the two numbers:

26.5 - 5 = 21.5
48 - 26.5 = 21.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 21.5 higher than 5 and 21.5 lower than 48. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 26.5 above is correct.
