Halfway Between 40 and 265

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 265?" 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=265.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 265, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 265 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 265)/2 = 152.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 265 is 152.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 152.5 and subtract 152.5 from 265 and compare the two numbers:

152.5 - 40 = 112.5
265 - 152.5 = 112.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 112.5 higher than 40 and 112.5 lower than 265. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 152.5 above is correct.
