Halfway Between 7 and 9

When you ask "What number is halfway between 7 and 9?" 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=9.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 7 and 9, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 7 and 9 into our formula, we get:

(7 + 9)/2 = 8

Thus, the number halfway between 7 and 9 is 8.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 7 from 8 and subtract 8 from 9 and compare the two numbers:

8 - 7 = 1
9 - 8 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 7 and 1 lower than 9. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 8 above is correct.
