Halfway Between 40 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 42?" 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=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 42)/2 = 41

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 42 is 41.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 41 and subtract 41 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

41 - 40 = 1
42 - 41 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 40 and 1 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 41 above is correct.
