Halfway Between 4 and 8

When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 and 8?" 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=8.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 4 and 8, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 4 and 8 into our formula, we get:

(4 + 8)/2 = 6

Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 8 is 6.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 6 and subtract 6 from 8 and compare the two numbers:

6 - 4 = 2
8 - 6 = 2

As you can see, the halfway number is 2 higher than 4 and 2 lower than 8. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 6 above is correct.
