Halfway Between 1 and 10

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 10?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=1 and Y=10.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 10, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 10 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 10)/2 = 5.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 10 is 5.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 5.5 and subtract 5.5 from 10 and compare the two numbers:

5.5 - 1 = 4.5
10 - 5.5 = 4.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 4.5 higher than 1 and 4.5 lower than 10. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5.5 above is correct.
