Halfway Between 5 and 508

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 508?" 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=508.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 508, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 508 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 508)/2 = 256.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 508 is 256.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 256.5 and subtract 256.5 from 508 and compare the two numbers:

256.5 - 5 = 251.5
508 - 256.5 = 251.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 251.5 higher than 5 and 251.5 lower than 508. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256.5 above is correct.
