When you ask "What number is halfway between 71 and 96?" 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=96.
To find the number halfway between 71 and 96, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 71 and 96 into our formula, we get:
(71 + 96)/2 = 83.5
Thus, the number halfway between 71 and 96 is 83.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 71 from 83.5 and subtract 83.5 from 96 and compare the two numbers:
83.5 - 71 = 12.5
96 - 83.5 = 12.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 12.5 higher than 71 and 12.5 lower than 96. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 83.5 above is correct.
