When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 178?" 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=178.
To find the number halfway between 85 and 178, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 85 and 178 into our formula, we get:
(85 + 178)/2 = 131.5
Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 178 is 131.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 131.5 and subtract 131.5 from 178 and compare the two numbers:
131.5 - 85 = 46.5
178 - 131.5 = 46.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 46.5 higher than 85 and 46.5 lower than 178. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 131.5 above is correct.
