When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 497?" 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=497.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 497, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 497 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 497)/2 = 256.5
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 497 is 256.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 256.5 and subtract 256.5 from 497 and compare the two numbers:
256.5 - 16 = 240.5
497 - 256.5 = 240.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 240.5 higher than 16 and 240.5 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256.5 above is correct.
