When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 465?" 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=465.
To find the number halfway between 72 and 465, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 72 and 465 into our formula, we get:
(72 + 465)/2 = 268.5
Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 465 is 268.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 268.5 and subtract 268.5 from 465 and compare the two numbers:
268.5 - 72 = 196.5
465 - 268.5 = 196.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 196.5 higher than 72 and 196.5 lower than 465. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 268.5 above is correct.
