Halfway Between 36 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 36 and 42?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=36 and Y=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 36 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 36 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(36 + 42)/2 = 39

Thus, the number halfway between 36 and 42 is 39.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 36 from 39 and subtract 39 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

39 - 36 = 3
42 - 39 = 3

As you can see, the halfway number is 3 higher than 36 and 3 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 39 above is correct.
