Halfway Between 2 and 159

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 159?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=2 and Y=159.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 159, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 159 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 159)/2 = 80.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 159 is 80.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 80.5 and subtract 80.5 from 159 and compare the two numbers:

80.5 - 2 = 78.5
159 - 80.5 = 78.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 78.5 higher than 2 and 78.5 lower than 159. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 80.5 above is correct.
