Halfway Between 8 and 21

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 21?" 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=21.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 21, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 21 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 21)/2 = 14.5

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 21 is 14.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 14.5 and subtract 14.5 from 21 and compare the two numbers:

14.5 - 8 = 6.5
21 - 14.5 = 6.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 6.5 higher than 8 and 6.5 lower than 21. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 14.5 above is correct.
