Halfway Between 16 and 27

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 27?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=16 and Y=27.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 27, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 27 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 27)/2 = 21.5

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 27 is 21.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 21.5 and subtract 21.5 from 27 and compare the two numbers:

21.5 - 16 = 5.5
27 - 21.5 = 5.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 5.5 higher than 16 and 5.5 lower than 27. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 21.5 above is correct.
