Halfway Between 5 and 56

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 56?" 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=56.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 56, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 56 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 56)/2 = 30.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 56 is 30.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 30.5 and subtract 30.5 from 56 and compare the two numbers:

30.5 - 5 = 25.5
56 - 30.5 = 25.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 25.5 higher than 5 and 25.5 lower than 56. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 30.5 above is correct.
