Halfway Between 40 and 401

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 401?" 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=401.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 401, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 401 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 401)/2 = 220.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 401 is 220.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 220.5 and subtract 220.5 from 401 and compare the two numbers:

220.5 - 40 = 180.5
401 - 220.5 = 180.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 180.5 higher than 40 and 180.5 lower than 401. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 220.5 above is correct.
