Halfway Between 40 and 59

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 59?" 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=59.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 59, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 59 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 59)/2 = 49.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 59 is 49.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 49.5 and subtract 49.5 from 59 and compare the two numbers:

49.5 - 40 = 9.5
59 - 49.5 = 9.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 9.5 higher than 40 and 9.5 lower than 59. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 49.5 above is correct.
