Halfway Between 12 and 79

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 79?" 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=79.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 79, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 79 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 79)/2 = 45.5

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 79 is 45.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 45.5 and subtract 45.5 from 79 and compare the two numbers:

45.5 - 12 = 33.5
79 - 45.5 = 33.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 33.5 higher than 12 and 33.5 lower than 79. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 45.5 above is correct.
