Halfway Between 6 and 8

When you ask "What number is halfway between 6 and 8?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=6 and Y=8.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 6 and 8, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 6 and 8 into our formula, we get:

(6 + 8)/2 = 7

Thus, the number halfway between 6 and 8 is 7.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 6 from 7 and subtract 7 from 8 and compare the two numbers:

7 - 6 = 1
8 - 7 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 6 and 1 lower than 8. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 7 above is correct.
