Halfway Between 40 and 57

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 57?" 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=57.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 57, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 57 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 57)/2 = 48.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 57 is 48.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 48.5 and subtract 48.5 from 57 and compare the two numbers:

48.5 - 40 = 8.5
57 - 48.5 = 8.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 8.5 higher than 40 and 8.5 lower than 57. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 48.5 above is correct.
