Halfway Between 40 and 299

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 299?" 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=299.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 299, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 299 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 299)/2 = 169.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 299 is 169.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 169.5 and subtract 169.5 from 299 and compare the two numbers:

169.5 - 40 = 129.5
299 - 169.5 = 129.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 129.5 higher than 40 and 129.5 lower than 299. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 169.5 above is correct.
