Halfway Between 38 and 159

When you ask "What number is halfway between 38 and 159?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=38 and Y=159.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 38 and 159, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 38 and 159 into our formula, we get:

(38 + 159)/2 = 98.5

Thus, the number halfway between 38 and 159 is 98.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 38 from 98.5 and subtract 98.5 from 159 and compare the two numbers:

98.5 - 38 = 60.5
159 - 98.5 = 60.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 60.5 higher than 38 and 60.5 lower than 159. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 98.5 above is correct.
