Halfway Between 72 and 409

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 409?" 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=409.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 409, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 409 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 409)/2 = 240.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 409 is 240.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 240.5 and subtract 240.5 from 409 and compare the two numbers:

240.5 - 72 = 168.5
409 - 240.5 = 168.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 168.5 higher than 72 and 168.5 lower than 409. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 240.5 above is correct.
