When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 72?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=1 and Y=72.
To find the number halfway between 1 and 72, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 1 and 72 into our formula, we get:
(1 + 72)/2 = 36.5
Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 72 is 36.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 36.5 and subtract 36.5 from 72 and compare the two numbers:
36.5 - 1 = 35.5
72 - 36.5 = 35.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 35.5 higher than 1 and 35.5 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 36.5 above is correct.
