Halfway Between 50 and 985

When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 985?" 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=985.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 50 and 985, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 50 and 985 into our formula, we get:

(50 + 985)/2 = 517.5

Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 985 is 517.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 517.5 and subtract 517.5 from 985 and compare the two numbers:

517.5 - 50 = 467.5
985 - 517.5 = 467.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 467.5 higher than 50 and 467.5 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 517.5 above is correct.
