Halfway Between 27 and 56

When you ask "What number is halfway between 27 and 56?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=27 and Y=56.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 27 and 56, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 27 and 56 into our formula, we get:

(27 + 56)/2 = 41.5

Thus, the number halfway between 27 and 56 is 41.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 27 from 41.5 and subtract 41.5 from 56 and compare the two numbers:

41.5 - 27 = 14.5
56 - 41.5 = 14.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 14.5 higher than 27 and 14.5 lower than 56. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 41.5 above is correct.
