Halfway Between 7 and 8

When you ask "What number is halfway between 7 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=7 and Y=8.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 7 and 8, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 7 and 8 into our formula, we get:

(7 + 8)/2 = 7.5

Thus, the number halfway between 7 and 8 is 7.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 7 from 7.5 and subtract 7.5 from 8 and compare the two numbers:

7.5 - 7 = 0.5
8 - 7.5 = 0.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 0.5 higher than 7 and 0.5 lower than 8. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 7.5 above is correct.
