When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 1000?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=17 and Y=1000.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 1000, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 1000 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 1000)/2 = 508.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 1000 is 508.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 508.5 and subtract 508.5 from 1000 and compare the two numbers:
508.5 - 17 = 491.5
1000 - 508.5 = 491.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 491.5 higher than 17 and 491.5 lower than 1000. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 508.5 above is correct.
