When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 415?" 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=415.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 415, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 415 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 415)/2 = 243.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 415 is 243.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 243.5 and subtract 243.5 from 415 and compare the two numbers:
243.5 - 72 = 171.5
415 - 243.5 = 171.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 171.5 higher than 72 and 171.5 lower than 415. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 243.5 above is correct.
