When you ask "What number is halfway between 71 and 272?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=71 and Y=272.
To find the number halfway between 71 and 272, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 71 and 272 into our formula, we get:
(71 + 272)/2 = 171.5
Thus, the number halfway between 71 and 272 is 171.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 71 from 171.5 and subtract 171.5 from 272 and compare the two numbers:
171.5 - 71 = 100.5
272 - 171.5 = 100.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 100.5 higher than 71 and 100.5 lower than 272. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 171.5 above is correct.
