Halfway Between 5 and 558

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 558?" 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=558.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 558, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 558 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 558)/2 = 281.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 558 is 281.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 281.5 and subtract 281.5 from 558 and compare the two numbers:

281.5 - 5 = 276.5
558 - 281.5 = 276.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 276.5 higher than 5 and 276.5 lower than 558. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 281.5 above is correct.
