Halfway Between 4 and 6

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 6?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=4 and Y=6.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 6, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 6 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 6)/2 = 5

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 6 is 5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 5 and subtract 5 from 6 and compare the two numbers:

5 - 4 = 1
6 - 5 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 4 and 1 lower than 6. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5 above is correct.
