Halfway Between 72 and 407

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 407?" 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=407.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 407, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 407 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 407)/2 = 239.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 407 is 239.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 239.5 and subtract 239.5 from 407 and compare the two numbers:

239.5 - 72 = 167.5
407 - 239.5 = 167.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 167.5 higher than 72 and 167.5 lower than 407. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 239.5 above is correct.
