Halfway Between 1 and 98

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 98?" 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=98.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 98, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 98 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 98)/2 = 49.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 98 is 49.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 49.5 and subtract 49.5 from 98 and compare the two numbers:

49.5 - 1 = 48.5
98 - 49.5 = 48.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 48.5 higher than 1 and 48.5 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 49.5 above is correct.
