Halfway Between 26 and 71

When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 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=26 and Y=71.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 26 and 71, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 26 and 71 into our formula, we get:

(26 + 71)/2 = 48.5

Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 71 is 48.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 48.5 and subtract 48.5 from 71 and compare the two numbers:

48.5 - 26 = 22.5
71 - 48.5 = 22.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 22.5 higher than 26 and 22.5 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 48.5 above is correct.
