When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 587?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=12 and Y=587.
To find the number halfway between 12 and 587, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 12 and 587 into our formula, we get:
(12 + 587)/2 = 299.5
Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 587 is 299.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 299.5 and subtract 299.5 from 587 and compare the two numbers:
299.5 - 12 = 287.5
587 - 299.5 = 287.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 287.5 higher than 12 and 287.5 lower than 587. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 299.5 above is correct.
