Halfway Between 72 and 225

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 225?" 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=225.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 225, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 225 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 225)/2 = 148.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 225 is 148.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 148.5 and subtract 148.5 from 225 and compare the two numbers:

148.5 - 72 = 76.5
225 - 148.5 = 76.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 76.5 higher than 72 and 76.5 lower than 225. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 148.5 above is correct.
