Halfway Between 1 and 12

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 12?" 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=12.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 12, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 12 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 12)/2 = 6.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 12 is 6.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 6.5 and subtract 6.5 from 12 and compare the two numbers:

6.5 - 1 = 5.5
12 - 6.5 = 5.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 5.5 higher than 1 and 5.5 lower than 12. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 6.5 above is correct.
