Halfway Between 5 and 968

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 968?" 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=968.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 968, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 968 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 968)/2 = 486.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 968 is 486.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 486.5 and subtract 486.5 from 968 and compare the two numbers:

486.5 - 5 = 481.5
968 - 486.5 = 481.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 481.5 higher than 5 and 481.5 lower than 968. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 486.5 above is correct.
