Halfway Between 72 and 216

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 216?" 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=216.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 216, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 216 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 216)/2 = 144

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 216 is 144.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 144 and subtract 144 from 216 and compare the two numbers:

144 - 72 = 72
216 - 144 = 72

As you can see, the halfway number is 72 higher than 72 and 72 lower than 216. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 144 above is correct.
