Halfway Between 8 and 72

When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 72?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=8 and Y=72.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 8 and 72, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 8 and 72 into our formula, we get:

(8 + 72)/2 = 40

Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 72 is 40.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 40 and subtract 40 from 72 and compare the two numbers:

40 - 8 = 32
72 - 40 = 32

As you can see, the halfway number is 32 higher than 8 and 32 lower than 72. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 40 above is correct.
