Halfway Between 72 and 188

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 188?" 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=188.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 188, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 188 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 188)/2 = 130

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 188 is 130.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 130 and subtract 130 from 188 and compare the two numbers:

130 - 72 = 58
188 - 130 = 58

As you can see, the halfway number is 58 higher than 72 and 58 lower than 188. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 130 above is correct.
