Halfway Between 70 and 87

When you ask "What number is halfway between 70 and 87?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=70 and Y=87.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 70 and 87, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 70 and 87 into our formula, we get:

(70 + 87)/2 = 78.5

Thus, the number halfway between 70 and 87 is 78.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 70 from 78.5 and subtract 78.5 from 87 and compare the two numbers:

78.5 - 70 = 8.5
87 - 78.5 = 8.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 8.5 higher than 70 and 8.5 lower than 87. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 78.5 above is correct.
