Halfway Between 40 and 487

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 487?" 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=487.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 487, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 487 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 487)/2 = 263.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 487 is 263.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 263.5 and subtract 263.5 from 487 and compare the two numbers:

263.5 - 40 = 223.5
487 - 263.5 = 223.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 223.5 higher than 40 and 223.5 lower than 487. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 263.5 above is correct.
