Halfway Between 53 and 96

When you ask "What number is halfway between 53 and 96?" 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=96.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 53 and 96, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 53 and 96 into our formula, we get:

(53 + 96)/2 = 74.5

Thus, the number halfway between 53 and 96 is 74.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 53 from 74.5 and subtract 74.5 from 96 and compare the two numbers:

74.5 - 53 = 21.5
96 - 74.5 = 21.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 21.5 higher than 53 and 21.5 lower than 96. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 74.5 above is correct.
