Halfway Between 8 and 40

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 40?" 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=40.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 40, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 40 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 40)/2 = 24

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 40 is 24.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 24 and subtract 24 from 40 and compare the two numbers:

24 - 8 = 16
40 - 24 = 16

As you can see, the halfway number is 16 higher than 8 and 16 lower than 40. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 24 above is correct.
