Halfway Between 5 and 50

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 50?" 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=50.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 50, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 50 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 50)/2 = 27.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 50 is 27.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 27.5 and subtract 27.5 from 50 and compare the two numbers:

27.5 - 5 = 22.5
50 - 27.5 = 22.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 22.5 higher than 5 and 22.5 lower than 50. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 27.5 above is correct.
