When you ask "What number is halfway between 74 and 85?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=74 and Y=85.
To find the number halfway between 74 and 85, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 74 and 85 into our formula, we get:
(74 + 85)/2 = 79.5
Thus, the number halfway between 74 and 85 is 79.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 74 from 79.5 and subtract 79.5 from 85 and compare the two numbers:
79.5 - 74 = 5.5
85 - 79.5 = 5.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 5.5 higher than 74 and 5.5 lower than 85. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 79.5 above is correct.
