When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 53?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=50 and Y=53.
To find the number halfway between 50 and 53, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 50 and 53 into our formula, we get:
(50 + 53)/2 = 51.5
Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 53 is 51.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 51.5 and subtract 51.5 from 53 and compare the two numbers:
51.5 - 50 = 1.5
53 - 51.5 = 1.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 1.5 higher than 50 and 1.5 lower than 53. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 51.5 above is correct.
