Halfway Between 5 and 52

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 52?" 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=52.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 52, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 52 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 52)/2 = 28.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 52 is 28.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 28.5 and subtract 28.5 from 52 and compare the two numbers:

28.5 - 5 = 23.5
52 - 28.5 = 23.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 23.5 higher than 5 and 23.5 lower than 52. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 28.5 above is correct.
