When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 187?" 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=187.
To find the number halfway between 40 and 187, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 40 and 187 into our formula, we get:
(40 + 187)/2 = 113.5
Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 187 is 113.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 113.5 and subtract 113.5 from 187 and compare the two numbers:
113.5 - 40 = 73.5
187 - 113.5 = 73.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 73.5 higher than 40 and 73.5 lower than 187. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 113.5 above is correct.
