Halfway Between 5 and 489

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 489?" 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=489.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 489, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 489 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 489)/2 = 247

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 489 is 247.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 247 and subtract 247 from 489 and compare the two numbers:

247 - 5 = 242
489 - 247 = 242

As you can see, the halfway number is 242 higher than 5 and 242 lower than 489. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 247 above is correct.
