Halfway Between 5 and 976

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 976?" 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=976.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 976, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 976 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 976)/2 = 490.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 976 is 490.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 490.5 and subtract 490.5 from 976 and compare the two numbers:

490.5 - 5 = 485.5
976 - 490.5 = 485.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 485.5 higher than 5 and 485.5 lower than 976. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 490.5 above is correct.
