Halfway Between 5 and 850

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 850?" 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=850.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 850, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 850 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 850)/2 = 427.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 850 is 427.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 427.5 and subtract 427.5 from 850 and compare the two numbers:

427.5 - 5 = 422.5
850 - 427.5 = 422.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 422.5 higher than 5 and 422.5 lower than 850. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 427.5 above is correct.
