Halfway Between 50 and 987

When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 987?" 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=987.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 50 and 987, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 50 and 987 into our formula, we get:

(50 + 987)/2 = 518.5

Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 987 is 518.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 518.5 and subtract 518.5 from 987 and compare the two numbers:

518.5 - 50 = 468.5
987 - 518.5 = 468.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 468.5 higher than 50 and 468.5 lower than 987. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 518.5 above is correct.
