When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 185?" 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=185.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 185, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 185 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 185)/2 = 128.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 185 is 128.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 128.5 and subtract 128.5 from 185 and compare the two numbers:
128.5 - 72 = 56.5
185 - 128.5 = 56.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 56.5 higher than 72 and 56.5 lower than 185. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 128.5 above is correct.
