Halfway Between 5 and 970

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 970?" 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=970.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 970, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 970 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 970)/2 = 487.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 970 is 487.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 487.5 and subtract 487.5 from 970 and compare the two numbers:

487.5 - 5 = 482.5
970 - 487.5 = 482.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 482.5 higher than 5 and 482.5 lower than 970. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 487.5 above is correct.
