Halfway Between 2 and 40

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 40?" 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=40.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 40, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 40 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 40)/2 = 21

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 40 is 21.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 21 and subtract 21 from 40 and compare the two numbers:

21 - 2 = 19
40 - 21 = 19

As you can see, the halfway number is 19 higher than 2 and 19 lower than 40. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 21 above is correct.
