Halfway Between 5 and 87

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 87?" 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=87.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 87, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 87 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 87)/2 = 46

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 87 is 46.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 46 and subtract 46 from 87 and compare the two numbers:

46 - 5 = 41
87 - 46 = 41

As you can see, the halfway number is 41 higher than 5 and 41 lower than 87. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 46 above is correct.
