Halfway Between 72 and 96

When you ask "What number is halfway between 72 and 96?" 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=96.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 72 and 96, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 72 and 96 into our formula, we get:

(72 + 96)/2 = 84

Thus, the number halfway between 72 and 96 is 84.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 72 from 84 and subtract 84 from 96 and compare the two numbers:

84 - 72 = 12
96 - 84 = 12

As you can see, the halfway number is 12 higher than 72 and 12 lower than 96. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 84 above is correct.
