Halfway Between 12 and 501

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 501?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=12 and Y=501.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 501, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 501 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 501)/2 = 256.5

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 501 is 256.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 256.5 and subtract 256.5 from 501 and compare the two numbers:

256.5 - 12 = 244.5
501 - 256.5 = 244.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 244.5 higher than 12 and 244.5 lower than 501. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256.5 above is correct.
