Halfway Between 85 and 144

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 144?" 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=144.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 144, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 144 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 144)/2 = 114.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 144 is 114.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 114.5 and subtract 114.5 from 144 and compare the two numbers:

114.5 - 85 = 29.5
144 - 114.5 = 29.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 29.5 higher than 85 and 29.5 lower than 144. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 114.5 above is correct.
