Halfway Between 72 and 549

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 549?" 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=549.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 549, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 549 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 549)/2 = 310.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 549 is 310.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 310.5 and subtract 310.5 from 549 and compare the two numbers:

310.5 - 72 = 238.5
549 - 310.5 = 238.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 238.5 higher than 72 and 238.5 lower than 549. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 310.5 above is correct.
