Halfway Between 85 and 470

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 470?" 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=470.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 470, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 470 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 470)/2 = 277.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 470 is 277.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 277.5 and subtract 277.5 from 470 and compare the two numbers:

277.5 - 85 = 192.5
470 - 277.5 = 192.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 192.5 higher than 85 and 192.5 lower than 470. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 277.5 above is correct.
