When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 265?" 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=265.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 265, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 265 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 265)/2 = 168.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 265 is 168.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 168.5 and subtract 168.5 from 265 and compare the two numbers:
168.5 - 72 = 96.5
265 - 168.5 = 96.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 96.5 higher than 72 and 96.5 lower than 265. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 168.5 above is correct.
