Halfway Between 40 and 501

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 501?" 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=501.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 501, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 501 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 501)/2 = 270.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 501 is 270.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 270.5 and subtract 270.5 from 501 and compare the two numbers:

270.5 - 40 = 230.5
501 - 270.5 = 230.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 230.5 higher than 40 and 230.5 lower than 501. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 270.5 above is correct.
