Halfway Between 8 and 71

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 71?" 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=71.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 71, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 71 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 71)/2 = 39.5

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 71 is 39.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 39.5 and subtract 39.5 from 71 and compare the two numbers:

39.5 - 8 = 31.5
71 - 39.5 = 31.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 31.5 higher than 8 and 31.5 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 39.5 above is correct.
