Halfway Between 2 and 161

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 161?" 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=161.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 161, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 161 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 161)/2 = 81.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 161 is 81.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 81.5 and subtract 81.5 from 161 and compare the two numbers:

81.5 - 2 = 79.5
161 - 81.5 = 79.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 79.5 higher than 2 and 79.5 lower than 161. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 81.5 above is correct.
