Halfway Between 16 and 56

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 56?" 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=56.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 56, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 56 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 56)/2 = 36

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 56 is 36.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 36 and subtract 36 from 56 and compare the two numbers:

36 - 16 = 20
56 - 36 = 20

As you can see, the halfway number is 20 higher than 16 and 20 lower than 56. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 36 above is correct.
