When you ask "What number is halfway between 85 and 96?" 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=96.
To find the number halfway between 85 and 96, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 85 and 96 into our formula, we get:
(85 + 96)/2 = 90.5
Thus, the number halfway between 85 and 96 is 90.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 85 from 90.5 and subtract 90.5 from 96 and compare the two numbers:
90.5 - 85 = 5.5
96 - 90.5 = 5.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 5.5 higher than 85 and 5.5 lower than 96. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 90.5 above is correct.
