Question

What is the number halfway between 8516 and 8586?

Answer 1

Answer:

8551

Step-by-step explanation:

• The midpoint of two numbers can be found by finding the mean of the two numbers
• Midpoint = 8516 + 8586 / 2
• We clearly see both numbers start with the digits '85' therefore their midpoint will also start with '85'
• The remaining two digits on those two numbers should be added and divided by 2
• ⇒ 16 + 86 / 2 = 102/2 = 51
• Midpoint = 8551
