Halfway Between 72 and 559

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 559?" 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=559.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 559, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 559 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 559)/2 = 315.5

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 559 is 315.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 315.5 and subtract 315.5 from 559 and compare the two numbers:

315.5 - 72 = 243.5
559 - 315.5 = 243.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 243.5 higher than 72 and 243.5 lower than 559. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 315.5 above is correct.
