Halfway Between 5 and 71

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 71?" 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=71.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 71, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 71 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 71)/2 = 38

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 71 is 38.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 38 and subtract 38 from 71 and compare the two numbers:

38 - 5 = 33
71 - 38 = 33

As you can see, the halfway number is 33 higher than 5 and 33 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 38 above is correct.
