Halfway Between 96 and 98

When you ask "What number is halfway between 96 and 98?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=96 and Y=98.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 96 and 98, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 96 and 98 into our formula, we get:

(96 + 98)/2 = 97

Thus, the number halfway between 96 and 98 is 97.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 96 from 97 and subtract 97 from 98 and compare the two numbers:

97 - 96 = 1
98 - 97 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 96 and 1 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 97 above is correct.
