Halfway Between 72 and 389

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 389?" 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=389.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 389, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 389 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 389)/2 = 230.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 389 is 230.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 230.5 and subtract 230.5 from 389 and compare the two numbers:

230.5 - 72 = 158.5
389 - 230.5 = 158.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 158.5 higher than 72 and 158.5 lower than 389. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 230.5 above is correct.
