Halfway Between 40 and 47

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 47?" 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=47.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 47, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 47 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 47)/2 = 43.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 47 is 43.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 43.5 and subtract 43.5 from 47 and compare the two numbers:

43.5 - 40 = 3.5
47 - 43.5 = 3.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 3.5 higher than 40 and 3.5 lower than 47. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 43.5 above is correct.
