Halfway Between 5 and 9

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 9?" 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=9.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 9, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 9 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 9)/2 = 7

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 9 is 7.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 7 and subtract 7 from 9 and compare the two numbers:

7 - 5 = 2
9 - 7 = 2

As you can see, the halfway number is 2 higher than 5 and 2 lower than 9. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 7 above is correct.
