Halfway Between 27 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 27 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=27 and Y=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 27 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 27 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(27 + 72)/2 = 49.5

Thus, the number halfway between 27 and 72 is 49.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 27 from 49.5 and subtract 49.5 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

49.5 - 27 = 22.5
72 - 49.5 = 22.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 22.5 higher than 27 and 22.5 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 49.5 above is correct.
