When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 541?" 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=541.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 541, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 541 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 541)/2 = 278.5
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 541 is 278.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 278.5 and subtract 278.5 from 541 and compare the two numbers:
278.5 - 16 = 262.5
541 - 278.5 = 262.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 262.5 higher than 16 and 262.5 lower than 541. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 278.5 above is correct.
