Halfway Between 72 and 471

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 471?" 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=471.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 471, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 471 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 471)/2 = 271.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 471 is 271.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 271.5 and subtract 271.5 from 471 and compare the two numbers:

271.5 - 72 = 199.5
471 - 271.5 = 199.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 199.5 higher than 72 and 199.5 lower than 471. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 271.5 above is correct.
