Halfway Between 3 and 9

When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 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=3 and Y=9.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 3 and 9, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 3 and 9 into our formula, we get:

(3 + 9)/2 = 6

Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 9 is 6.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 6 and subtract 6 from 9 and compare the two numbers:

6 - 3 = 3
9 - 6 = 3

As you can see, the halfway number is 3 higher than 3 and 3 lower than 9. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 6 above is correct.
