Halfway Between 40 and 297

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 297?" 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=297.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 297, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 297 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 297)/2 = 168.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 297 is 168.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 168.5 and subtract 168.5 from 297 and compare the two numbers:

168.5 - 40 = 128.5
297 - 168.5 = 128.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 128.5 higher than 40 and 128.5 lower than 297. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 168.5 above is correct.
