Halfway Between 3 and 7

When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 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=3 and Y=7.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 3 and 7, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 3 and 7 into our formula, we get:

(3 + 7)/2 = 5

Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 7 is 5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 5 and subtract 5 from 7 and compare the two numbers:

5 - 3 = 2
7 - 5 = 2

As you can see, the halfway number is 2 higher than 3 and 2 lower than 7. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5 above is correct.
