Halfway Between 5 and 984

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 984?" 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=984.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 984, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 984 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 984)/2 = 494.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 984 is 494.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 494.5 and subtract 494.5 from 984 and compare the two numbers:

494.5 - 5 = 489.5
984 - 494.5 = 489.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 489.5 higher than 5 and 489.5 lower than 984. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 494.5 above is correct.
