Halfway Between 55 and 686

When you ask "What number is halfway between 55 and 686?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=55 and Y=686.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 55 and 686, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 55 and 686 into our formula, we get:

(55 + 686)/2 = 370.5

Thus, the number halfway between 55 and 686 is 370.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 55 from 370.5 and subtract 370.5 from 686 and compare the two numbers:

370.5 - 55 = 315.5
686 - 370.5 = 315.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 315.5 higher than 55 and 315.5 lower than 686. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 370.5 above is correct.
