Halfway Between 5 and 85

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 85?" 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=85.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 85, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 85 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 85)/2 = 45

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 85 is 45.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 45 and subtract 45 from 85 and compare the two numbers:

45 - 5 = 40
85 - 45 = 40

As you can see, the halfway number is 40 higher than 5 and 40 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 45 above is correct.
