Halfway Between 39 and 280

When you ask "What number is halfway between 39 and 280?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=39 and Y=280.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 39 and 280, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 39 and 280 into our formula, we get:

(39 + 280)/2 = 159.5

Thus, the number halfway between 39 and 280 is 159.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 39 from 159.5 and subtract 159.5 from 280 and compare the two numbers:

159.5 - 39 = 120.5
280 - 159.5 = 120.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 120.5 higher than 39 and 120.5 lower than 280. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 159.5 above is correct.
