When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 159?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=8 and Y=159.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 159, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 159 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 159)/2 = 83.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 159 is 83.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 83.5 and subtract 83.5 from 159 and compare the two numbers:
83.5 - 8 = 75.5
159 - 83.5 = 75.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 75.5 higher than 8 and 75.5 lower than 159. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 83.5 above is correct.
