When you ask "What number is halfway between 73 and 486?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=73 and Y=486.
To find the number halfway between 73 and 486, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 73 and 486 into our formula, we get:
(73 + 486)/2 = 279.5
Thus, the number halfway between 73 and 486 is 279.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 73 from 279.5 and subtract 279.5 from 486 and compare the two numbers:
279.5 - 73 = 206.5
486 - 279.5 = 206.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 206.5 higher than 73 and 206.5 lower than 486. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279.5 above is correct.
