When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 59?" 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=59.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 59, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 59 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 59)/2 = 37.5
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 59 is 37.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 37.5 and subtract 37.5 from 59 and compare the two numbers:
37.5 - 16 = 21.5
59 - 37.5 = 21.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 21.5 higher than 16 and 21.5 lower than 59. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 37.5 above is correct.
