Halfway Between 53 and 78

When you ask "What number is halfway between 53 and 78?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=53 and Y=78.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 53 and 78, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 53 and 78 into our formula, we get:

(53 + 78)/2 = 65.5

Thus, the number halfway between 53 and 78 is 65.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 53 from 65.5 and subtract 65.5 from 78 and compare the two numbers:

65.5 - 53 = 12.5
78 - 65.5 = 12.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 12.5 higher than 53 and 12.5 lower than 78. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 65.5 above is correct.
