Halfway Between 5 and 554

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 554?" 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=554.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 554, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 554 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 554)/2 = 279.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 554 is 279.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 279.5 and subtract 279.5 from 554 and compare the two numbers:

279.5 - 5 = 274.5
554 - 279.5 = 274.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 274.5 higher than 5 and 274.5 lower than 554. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279.5 above is correct.
