Halfway Between 1 and 56

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 56?" 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=56.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 56, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 56 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 56)/2 = 28.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 56 is 28.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 28.5 and subtract 28.5 from 56 and compare the two numbers:

28.5 - 1 = 27.5
56 - 28.5 = 27.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 27.5 higher than 1 and 27.5 lower than 56. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 28.5 above is correct.
