When you ask "What number is halfway between 48 and 71?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=48 and Y=71.
To find the number halfway between 48 and 71, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 48 and 71 into our formula, we get:
(48 + 71)/2 = 59.5
Thus, the number halfway between 48 and 71 is 59.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 48 from 59.5 and subtract 59.5 from 71 and compare the two numbers:
59.5 - 48 = 11.5
71 - 59.5 = 11.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 11.5 higher than 48 and 11.5 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 59.5 above is correct.
