Halfway Between 78 and 281

When you ask "What number is halfway between 78 and 281?" 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=281.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 78 and 281, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 78 and 281 into our formula, we get:

(78 + 281)/2 = 179.5

Thus, the number halfway between 78 and 281 is 179.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 78 from 179.5 and subtract 179.5 from 281 and compare the two numbers:

179.5 - 78 = 101.5
281 - 179.5 = 101.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 101.5 higher than 78 and 101.5 lower than 281. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 179.5 above is correct.
