Halfway Between 8 and 55

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 55?" 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=55.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 55, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 55 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 55)/2 = 31.5

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 55 is 31.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 31.5 and subtract 31.5 from 55 and compare the two numbers:

31.5 - 8 = 23.5
55 - 31.5 = 23.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 23.5 higher than 8 and 23.5 lower than 55. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 31.5 above is correct.
