Halfway Between 16 and 47

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 47?" 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=47.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 47, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 47 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 47)/2 = 31.5

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 47 is 31.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 31.5 and subtract 31.5 from 47 and compare the two numbers:

31.5 - 16 = 15.5
47 - 31.5 = 15.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 15.5 higher than 16 and 15.5 lower than 47. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 31.5 above is correct.
