Halfway Between 4 and 7

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 7?" 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=7.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 7, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 7 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 7)/2 = 5.5

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 7 is 5.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 5.5 and subtract 5.5 from 7 and compare the two numbers:

5.5 - 4 = 1.5
7 - 5.5 = 1.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 1.5 higher than 4 and 1.5 lower than 7. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5.5 above is correct.
