Halfway Between 36 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 36 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=36 and Y=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 36 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 36 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(36 + 72)/2 = 54

Thus, the number halfway between 36 and 72 is 54.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 36 from 54 and subtract 54 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

54 - 36 = 18
72 - 54 = 18

As you can see, the halfway number is 18 higher than 36 and 18 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 54 above is correct.
