Halfway Between 40 and 61

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 61?" 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=61.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 61, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 61 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 61)/2 = 50.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 61 is 50.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 50.5 and subtract 50.5 from 61 and compare the two numbers:

50.5 - 40 = 10.5
61 - 50.5 = 10.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 10.5 higher than 40 and 10.5 lower than 61. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 50.5 above is correct.
