Halfway Between 46 and 87

When you ask "What number is halfway between 46 and 87?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=46 and Y=87.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 46 and 87, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 46 and 87 into our formula, we get:

(46 + 87)/2 = 66.5

Thus, the number halfway between 46 and 87 is 66.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 46 from 66.5 and subtract 66.5 from 87 and compare the two numbers:

66.5 - 46 = 20.5
87 - 66.5 = 20.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 20.5 higher than 46 and 20.5 lower than 87. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 66.5 above is correct.
