When you ask "What number is halfway between 86 and 255?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=86 and Y=255.
To find the number halfway between 86 and 255, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 86 and 255 into our formula, we get:
(86 + 255)/2 = 170.5
Thus, the number halfway between 86 and 255 is 170.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 86 from 170.5 and subtract 170.5 from 255 and compare the two numbers:
170.5 - 86 = 84.5
255 - 170.5 = 84.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 84.5 higher than 86 and 84.5 lower than 255. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 170.5 above is correct.
