Halfway Between 85 and 488

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 488?" 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=488.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 488, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 488 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 488)/2 = 286.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 488 is 286.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 286.5 and subtract 286.5 from 488 and compare the two numbers:

286.5 - 85 = 201.5
488 - 286.5 = 201.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 201.5 higher than 85 and 201.5 lower than 488. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 286.5 above is correct.
