When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 61?" 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=61.
To find the number halfway between 12 and 61, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 12 and 61 into our formula, we get:
(12 + 61)/2 = 36.5
Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 61 is 36.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 36.5 and subtract 36.5 from 61 and compare the two numbers:
36.5 - 12 = 24.5
61 - 36.5 = 24.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 24.5 higher than 12 and 24.5 lower than 61. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 36.5 above is correct.
