Halfway Between 56 and 85

When you ask "What number is halfway between 56 and 85?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=56 and Y=85.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 56 and 85, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 56 and 85 into our formula, we get:

(56 + 85)/2 = 70.5

Thus, the number halfway between 56 and 85 is 70.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 56 from 70.5 and subtract 70.5 from 85 and compare the two numbers:

70.5 - 56 = 14.5
85 - 70.5 = 14.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 14.5 higher than 56 and 14.5 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 70.5 above is correct.
