Halfway Between 85 and 279

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 279?" 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=279.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 279, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 279 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 279)/2 = 182

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 279 is 182.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 182 and subtract 182 from 279 and compare the two numbers:

182 - 85 = 97
279 - 182 = 97

As you can see, the halfway number is 97 higher than 85 and 97 lower than 279. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 182 above is correct.
