Halfway Between 1 and 50

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 50?" 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=50.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 50, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 50 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 50)/2 = 25.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 50 is 25.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 25.5 and subtract 25.5 from 50 and compare the two numbers:

25.5 - 1 = 24.5
50 - 25.5 = 24.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 24.5 higher than 1 and 24.5 lower than 50. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 25.5 above is correct.
