Halfway Between 9 and 16

When you ask "What number is halfway between 9 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=9 and Y=16.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 9 and 16, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 9 and 16 into our formula, we get:

(9 + 16)/2 = 12.5

Thus, the number halfway between 9 and 16 is 12.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 9 from 12.5 and subtract 12.5 from 16 and compare the two numbers:

12.5 - 9 = 3.5
16 - 12.5 = 3.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 3.5 higher than 9 and 3.5 lower than 16. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 12.5 above is correct.
