Halfway Between 5 and 502

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 502?" 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=502.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 502, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 502 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 502)/2 = 253.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 502 is 253.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 253.5 and subtract 253.5 from 502 and compare the two numbers:

253.5 - 5 = 248.5
502 - 253.5 = 248.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 248.5 higher than 5 and 248.5 lower than 502. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 253.5 above is correct.
