Halfway Between 5 and 486

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 486?" 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=486.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 486, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 486 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 486)/2 = 245.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 486 is 245.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 245.5 and subtract 245.5 from 486 and compare the two numbers:

245.5 - 5 = 240.5
486 - 245.5 = 240.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 240.5 higher than 5 and 240.5 lower than 486. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 245.5 above is correct.
