Halfway Between 5 and 985

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 985?" 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=985.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 985, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 985 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 985)/2 = 495

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 985 is 495.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 495 and subtract 495 from 985 and compare the two numbers:

495 - 5 = 490
985 - 495 = 490

As you can see, the halfway number is 490 higher than 5 and 490 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 495 above is correct.
