Halfway Between 5 and 550

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 550?" 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=550.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 550, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 550 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 550)/2 = 277.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 550 is 277.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 277.5 and subtract 277.5 from 550 and compare the two numbers:

277.5 - 5 = 272.5
550 - 277.5 = 272.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 272.5 higher than 5 and 272.5 lower than 550. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 277.5 above is correct.
