When you ask "What number is halfway between 59 and 86?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=59 and Y=86.
To find the number halfway between 59 and 86, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 59 and 86 into our formula, we get:
(59 + 86)/2 = 72.5
Thus, the number halfway between 59 and 86 is 72.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 59 from 72.5 and subtract 72.5 from 86 and compare the two numbers:
72.5 - 59 = 13.5
86 - 72.5 = 13.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 13.5 higher than 59 and 13.5 lower than 86. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 72.5 above is correct.
