When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 297?" 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=297.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 297, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 297 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 297)/2 = 184.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 297 is 184.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 184.5 and subtract 184.5 from 297 and compare the two numbers:
184.5 - 72 = 112.5
297 - 184.5 = 112.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 112.5 higher than 72 and 112.5 lower than 297. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 184.5 above is correct.
