When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 271?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=16 and Y=271.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 271, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 271 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 271)/2 = 143.5
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 271 is 143.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 143.5 and subtract 143.5 from 271 and compare the two numbers:
143.5 - 16 = 127.5
271 - 143.5 = 127.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 127.5 higher than 16 and 127.5 lower than 271. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 143.5 above is correct.
