Halfway Between 5 and 498

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 498?" 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=498.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 498, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 498 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 498)/2 = 251.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 498 is 251.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 251.5 and subtract 251.5 from 498 and compare the two numbers:

251.5 - 5 = 246.5
498 - 251.5 = 246.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 246.5 higher than 5 and 246.5 lower than 498. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 251.5 above is correct.
