Halfway Between 85 and 898

When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 898?" 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=898.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 85 and 898, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 85 and 898 into our formula, we get:

(85 + 898)/2 = 491.5

Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 898 is 491.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 491.5 and subtract 491.5 from 898 and compare the two numbers:

491.5 - 85 = 406.5
898 - 491.5 = 406.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 406.5 higher than 85 and 406.5 lower than 898. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 491.5 above is correct.
