When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 272?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=79 and Y=272.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 272, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 272 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 272)/2 = 175.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 272 is 175.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 175.5 and subtract 175.5 from 272 and compare the two numbers:
175.5 - 79 = 96.5
272 - 175.5 = 96.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 96.5 higher than 79 and 96.5 lower than 272. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 175.5 above is correct.
