Halfway Between 40 and 499

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 499?" 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=499.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 499, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 499 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 499)/2 = 269.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 499 is 269.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 269.5 and subtract 269.5 from 499 and compare the two numbers:

269.5 - 40 = 229.5
499 - 269.5 = 229.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 229.5 higher than 40 and 229.5 lower than 499. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 269.5 above is correct.
