Halfway Between 2 and 7

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 7?" 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=7.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 7, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 7 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 7)/2 = 4.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 7 is 4.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 4.5 and subtract 4.5 from 7 and compare the two numbers:

4.5 - 2 = 2.5
7 - 4.5 = 2.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 2.5 higher than 2 and 2.5 lower than 7. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 4.5 above is correct.
