Halfway Between 8 and 16

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 16?" 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=16.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 16, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 16 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 16)/2 = 12

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 16 is 12.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 12 and subtract 12 from 16 and compare the two numbers:

12 - 8 = 4
16 - 12 = 4

As you can see, the halfway number is 4 higher than 8 and 4 lower than 16. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 12 above is correct.
