Halfway Between 85 and 496

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 496?" 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=496.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 496, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 496 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 496)/2 = 290.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 496 is 290.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 290.5 and subtract 290.5 from 496 and compare the two numbers:

290.5 - 85 = 205.5
496 - 290.5 = 205.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 205.5 higher than 85 and 205.5 lower than 496. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 290.5 above is correct.
