When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 229?" 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=229.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 229, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 229 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 229)/2 = 150.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 229 is 150.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 150.5 and subtract 150.5 from 229 and compare the two numbers:
150.5 - 72 = 78.5
229 - 150.5 = 78.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 78.5 higher than 72 and 78.5 lower than 229. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 150.5 above is correct.
