Halfway Between 5 and 66

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 66?" 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=66.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 66, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 66 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 66)/2 = 35.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 66 is 35.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 35.5 and subtract 35.5 from 66 and compare the two numbers:

35.5 - 5 = 30.5
66 - 35.5 = 30.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 30.5 higher than 5 and 30.5 lower than 66. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 35.5 above is correct.
