Halfway Between 5 and 495

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 495?" 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=495.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 495, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 495 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 495)/2 = 250

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 495 is 250.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 250 and subtract 250 from 495 and compare the two numbers:

250 - 5 = 245
495 - 250 = 245

As you can see, the halfway number is 245 higher than 5 and 245 lower than 495. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 250 above is correct.
