Halfway Between 1 and 48

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 48?" 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=48.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 48, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 48 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 48)/2 = 24.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 48 is 24.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 24.5 and subtract 24.5 from 48 and compare the two numbers:

24.5 - 1 = 23.5
48 - 24.5 = 23.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 23.5 higher than 1 and 23.5 lower than 48. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 24.5 above is correct.
