Halfway Between 85 and 456

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 456?" 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=456.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 456, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 456 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 456)/2 = 270.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 456 is 270.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 270.5 and subtract 270.5 from 456 and compare the two numbers:

270.5 - 85 = 185.5
456 - 270.5 = 185.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 185.5 higher than 85 and 185.5 lower than 456. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 270.5 above is correct.
