Halfway Between 72 and 243

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 243?" 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=243.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 243, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 243 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 243)/2 = 157.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 243 is 157.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 157.5 and subtract 157.5 from 243 and compare the two numbers:

157.5 - 72 = 85.5
243 - 157.5 = 85.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 85.5 higher than 72 and 85.5 lower than 243. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 157.5 above is correct.
