Halfway Between 5 and 488

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 488?" 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=488.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 488, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 488 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 488)/2 = 246.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 488 is 246.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 246.5 and subtract 246.5 from 488 and compare the two numbers:

246.5 - 5 = 241.5
488 - 246.5 = 241.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 241.5 higher than 5 and 241.5 lower than 488. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 246.5 above is correct.
