Halfway Between 45 and 272

When you ask "What number is halfway between 45 and 272?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=45 and Y=272.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 45 and 272, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 45 and 272 into our formula, we get:

(45 + 272)/2 = 158.5

Thus, the number halfway between 45 and 272 is 158.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 45 from 158.5 and subtract 158.5 from 272 and compare the two numbers:

158.5 - 45 = 113.5
272 - 158.5 = 113.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 113.5 higher than 45 and 113.5 lower than 272. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 158.5 above is correct.
