Halfway Between 19 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 19 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=19 and Y=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 19 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 19 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(19 + 72)/2 = 45.5

Thus, the number halfway between 19 and 72 is 45.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 19 from 45.5 and subtract 45.5 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

45.5 - 19 = 26.5
72 - 45.5 = 26.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 26.5 higher than 19 and 26.5 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 45.5 above is correct.
