Halfway Between 5 and 54

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 54?" 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=54.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 54, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 54 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 54)/2 = 29.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 54 is 29.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 29.5 and subtract 29.5 from 54 and compare the two numbers:

29.5 - 5 = 24.5
54 - 29.5 = 24.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 24.5 higher than 5 and 24.5 lower than 54. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 29.5 above is correct.
