Halfway Between 85 and 262

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 262?" 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=262.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 262, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 262 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 262)/2 = 173.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 262 is 173.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 173.5 and subtract 173.5 from 262 and compare the two numbers:

173.5 - 85 = 88.5
262 - 173.5 = 88.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 88.5 higher than 85 and 88.5 lower than 262. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 173.5 above is correct.
