Halfway Between 85 and 248

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 248?" 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=248.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 248, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 248 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 248)/2 = 166.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 248 is 166.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 166.5 and subtract 166.5 from 248 and compare the two numbers:

166.5 - 85 = 81.5
248 - 166.5 = 81.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 81.5 higher than 85 and 81.5 lower than 248. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 166.5 above is correct.
