When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 118?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=85 and Y=118.
To find the number halfway between 85 and 118, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 85 and 118 into our formula, we get:
(85 + 118)/2 = 101.5
Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 118 is 101.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 101.5 and subtract 101.5 from 118 and compare the two numbers:
101.5 - 85 = 16.5
118 - 101.5 = 16.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 16.5 higher than 85 and 16.5 lower than 118. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 101.5 above is correct.
