When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 278?" 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=278.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 278, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 278 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 278)/2 = 147
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 278 is 147.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 147 and subtract 147 from 278 and compare the two numbers:
147 - 16 = 131
278 - 147 = 131
As you can see, the halfway number is 131 higher than 16 and 131 lower than 278. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 147 above is correct.
