Halfway Between 72 and 88

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 88?" 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=88.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 88, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 88 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 88)/2 = 80

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 88 is 80.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 80 and subtract 80 from 88 and compare the two numbers:

80 - 72 = 8
88 - 80 = 8

As you can see, the halfway number is 8 higher than 72 and 8 lower than 88. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 80 above is correct.
