Halfway Between 1 and 3

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 3?" 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=3.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 3, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 3 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 3)/2 = 2

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 3 is 2.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 2 and subtract 2 from 3 and compare the two numbers:

2 - 1 = 1
3 - 2 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 1 and 1 lower than 3. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 2 above is correct.
