Halfway Between 5 and 974

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 974?" 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=974.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 974, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 974 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 974)/2 = 489.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 974 is 489.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 489.5 and subtract 489.5 from 974 and compare the two numbers:

489.5 - 5 = 484.5
974 - 489.5 = 484.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 484.5 higher than 5 and 484.5 lower than 974. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 489.5 above is correct.
