When you ask "What number is halfway between 86 and 285?" 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=285.
To find the number halfway between 86 and 285, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 86 and 285 into our formula, we get:
(86 + 285)/2 = 185.5
Thus, the number halfway between 86 and 285 is 185.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 86 from 185.5 and subtract 185.5 from 285 and compare the two numbers:
185.5 - 86 = 99.5
285 - 185.5 = 99.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 99.5 higher than 86 and 99.5 lower than 285. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 185.5 above is correct.
