When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 460?" 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=460.
To find the number halfway between 85 and 460, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 85 and 460 into our formula, we get:
(85 + 460)/2 = 272.5
Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 460 is 272.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 272.5 and subtract 272.5 from 460 and compare the two numbers:
272.5 - 85 = 187.5
460 - 272.5 = 187.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 187.5 higher than 85 and 187.5 lower than 460. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 272.5 above is correct.
