Halfway Between 78 and 271

When you ask "What number is halfway between 78 and 271?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=78 and Y=271.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 78 and 271, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 78 and 271 into our formula, we get:

(78 + 271)/2 = 174.5

Thus, the number halfway between 78 and 271 is 174.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 78 from 174.5 and subtract 174.5 from 271 and compare the two numbers:

174.5 - 78 = 96.5
271 - 174.5 = 96.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 96.5 higher than 78 and 96.5 lower than 271. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 174.5 above is correct.
