When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 9?" 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=9.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 9, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 9 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 9)/2 = 5.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 9 is 5.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 5.5 and subtract 5.5 from 9 and compare the two numbers:
5.5 - 2 = 3.5
9 - 5.5 = 3.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 3.5 higher than 2 and 3.5 lower than 9. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5.5 above is correct.
