Halfway Between 85 and 498

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 498?" 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=498.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 498, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 498 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 498)/2 = 291.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 498 is 291.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 291.5 and subtract 291.5 from 498 and compare the two numbers:

291.5 - 85 = 206.5
498 - 291.5 = 206.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 206.5 higher than 85 and 206.5 lower than 498. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 291.5 above is correct.
