Halfway Between 40 and 161

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 161?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=40 and Y=161.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 161, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 161 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 161)/2 = 100.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 161 is 100.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 100.5 and subtract 100.5 from 161 and compare the two numbers:

100.5 - 40 = 60.5
161 - 100.5 = 60.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 60.5 higher than 40 and 60.5 lower than 161. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 100.5 above is correct.
