Halfway Between 16 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 42?" 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=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 42)/2 = 29

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 42 is 29.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 29 and subtract 29 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

29 - 16 = 13
42 - 29 = 13

As you can see, the halfway number is 13 higher than 16 and 13 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 29 above is correct.
