Halfway Between 72 and 120

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 120?" 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=120.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 120, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 120 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 120)/2 = 96

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 120 is 96.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 96 and subtract 96 from 120 and compare the two numbers:

96 - 72 = 24
120 - 96 = 24

As you can see, the halfway number is 24 higher than 72 and 24 lower than 120. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 96 above is correct.
