Halfway Between 1 and 4

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 4?" 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=4.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 4, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 4 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 4)/2 = 2.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 4 is 2.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 2.5 and subtract 2.5 from 4 and compare the two numbers:

2.5 - 1 = 1.5
4 - 2.5 = 1.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 1.5 higher than 1 and 1.5 lower than 4. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 2.5 above is correct.
