Halfway Between 6 and 87

When you ask "What number is halfway between 6 and 87?" 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=87.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 6 and 87, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 6 and 87 into our formula, we get:

(6 + 87)/2 = 46.5

Thus, the number halfway between 6 and 87 is 46.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 6 from 46.5 and subtract 46.5 from 87 and compare the two numbers:

46.5 - 6 = 40.5
87 - 46.5 = 40.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 40.5 higher than 6 and 40.5 lower than 87. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 46.5 above is correct.
