Halfway Between 40 and 490

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 490?" 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=490.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 490, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 490 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 490)/2 = 265

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 490 is 265.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 265 and subtract 265 from 490 and compare the two numbers:

265 - 40 = 225
490 - 265 = 225

As you can see, the halfway number is 225 higher than 40 and 225 lower than 490. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 265 above is correct.
