When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 283?" 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=283.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 283, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 283 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 283)/2 = 177.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 283 is 177.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 177.5 and subtract 177.5 from 283 and compare the two numbers:
177.5 - 72 = 105.5
283 - 177.5 = 105.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 105.5 higher than 72 and 105.5 lower than 283. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 177.5 above is correct.
