When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 165?" 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=165.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 165, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 165 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 165)/2 = 118.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 165 is 118.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 118.5 and subtract 118.5 from 165 and compare the two numbers:
118.5 - 72 = 46.5
165 - 118.5 = 46.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 46.5 higher than 72 and 46.5 lower than 165. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 118.5 above is correct.
