Halfway Between 5 and 994

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 994?" 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=994.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 994, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 994 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 994)/2 = 499.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 994 is 499.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 499.5 and subtract 499.5 from 994 and compare the two numbers:

499.5 - 5 = 494.5
994 - 499.5 = 494.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 494.5 higher than 5 and 494.5 lower than 994. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 499.5 above is correct.
