Halfway Between 5 and 590

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 590?" 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=590.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 590, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 590 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 590)/2 = 297.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 590 is 297.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 297.5 and subtract 297.5 from 590 and compare the two numbers:

297.5 - 5 = 292.5
590 - 297.5 = 292.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 292.5 higher than 5 and 292.5 lower than 590. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 297.5 above is correct.
