Halfway Between 77 and 86

When you ask "What number is halfway between 77 and 86?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=77 and Y=86.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 77 and 86, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 77 and 86 into our formula, we get:

(77 + 86)/2 = 81.5

Thus, the number halfway between 77 and 86 is 81.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 77 from 81.5 and subtract 81.5 from 86 and compare the two numbers:

81.5 - 77 = 4.5
86 - 81.5 = 4.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 4.5 higher than 77 and 4.5 lower than 86. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 81.5 above is correct.
