Halfway Between 24 and 71

When you ask "What number is halfway between 24 and 71?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=24 and Y=71.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 24 and 71, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 24 and 71 into our formula, we get:

(24 + 71)/2 = 47.5

Thus, the number halfway between 24 and 71 is 47.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 24 from 47.5 and subtract 47.5 from 71 and compare the two numbers:

47.5 - 24 = 23.5
71 - 47.5 = 23.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 23.5 higher than 24 and 23.5 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 47.5 above is correct.
