Halfway Between 40 and 85

When you ask "What number is halfway between 40 and 85?" 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=85.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 40 and 85, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 40 and 85 into our formula, we get:

(40 + 85)/2 = 62.5

Thus, the number halfway between 40 and 85 is 62.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 40 from 62.5 and subtract 62.5 from 85 and compare the two numbers:

62.5 - 40 = 22.5
85 - 62.5 = 22.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 22.5 higher than 40 and 22.5 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 62.5 above is correct.
