Halfway Between 16 and 61

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 61?" 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=61.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 61, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 61 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 61)/2 = 38.5

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 61 is 38.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 38.5 and subtract 38.5 from 61 and compare the two numbers:

38.5 - 16 = 22.5
61 - 38.5 = 22.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 22.5 higher than 16 and 22.5 lower than 61. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 38.5 above is correct.
