When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 299?" 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=299.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 299, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 299 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 299)/2 = 185.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 299 is 185.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 185.5 and subtract 185.5 from 299 and compare the two numbers:
185.5 - 72 = 113.5
299 - 185.5 = 113.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 113.5 higher than 72 and 113.5 lower than 299. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 185.5 above is correct.
