Halfway Between 72 and 480

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 480?" 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=480.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 480, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 480 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 480)/2 = 276

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 480 is 276.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 276 and subtract 276 from 480 and compare the two numbers:

276 - 72 = 204
480 - 276 = 204

As you can see, the halfway number is 204 higher than 72 and 204 lower than 480. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 276 above is correct.
