Halfway Between 12 and 988

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 988?" 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=988.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 988, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 988 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 988)/2 = 500

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 988 is 500.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 500 and subtract 500 from 988 and compare the two numbers:

500 - 12 = 488
988 - 500 = 488

As you can see, the halfway number is 488 higher than 12 and 488 lower than 988. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 500 above is correct.
