When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 119?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=72 and Y=119.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 119, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 119 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 119)/2 = 95.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 119 is 95.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 95.5 and subtract 95.5 from 119 and compare the two numbers:
95.5 - 72 = 23.5
119 - 95.5 = 23.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 23.5 higher than 72 and 23.5 lower than 119. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 95.5 above is correct.
