Halfway Between 85 and 486

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 486?" 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=486.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 486, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 486 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 486)/2 = 285.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 486 is 285.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 285.5 and subtract 285.5 from 486 and compare the two numbers:

285.5 - 85 = 200.5
486 - 285.5 = 200.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 200.5 higher than 85 and 200.5 lower than 486. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 285.5 above is correct.
