Question

What number is halfway between 82 and 28 on the number line?

Answer 1

To find the number that is in the halfway between two numbers, we just need to find the average of the two numbers, that is, we sum the numbers and divide by two.

For example, we know that the number halfway between 1 and 3 is the number 2, so we would have:

`\text{halfway number = }\frac{(1+3){}}{2}=(4)/(2)=2`

So, if we want to find the halfway number between the numbers 82 and 28, we have that:

`\text{halfway number = }\frac{(82+28){}}{2}=(110)/(2)=55`

So the answer is 55.

Hope it helps!
