When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 125?" 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=125.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 125, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 125 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 125)/2 = 98.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 125 is 98.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 98.5 and subtract 98.5 from 125 and compare the two numbers:
98.5 - 72 = 26.5
125 - 98.5 = 26.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 26.5 higher than 72 and 26.5 lower than 125. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 98.5 above is correct.
