Halfway Between 6 and 85

When you ask "What number is halfway between 6 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=6 and Y=85.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 6 and 85, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 6 and 85 into our formula, we get:

(6 + 85)/2 = 45.5

Thus, the number halfway between 6 and 85 is 45.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 6 from 45.5 and subtract 45.5 from 85 and compare the two numbers:

45.5 - 6 = 39.5
85 - 45.5 = 39.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 39.5 higher than 6 and 39.5 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 45.5 above is correct.
