When you ask "What number is halfway between 60 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=60 and Y=85.
To find the number halfway between 60 and 85, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 60 and 85 into our formula, we get:
(60 + 85)/2 = 72.5
Thus, the number halfway between 60 and 85 is 72.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 60 from 72.5 and subtract 72.5 from 85 and compare the two numbers:
72.5 - 60 = 12.5
85 - 72.5 = 12.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 12.5 higher than 60 and 12.5 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 72.5 above is correct.
