When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 296?" 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=296.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 296, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 296 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 296)/2 = 156.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 296 is 156.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 156.5 and subtract 156.5 from 296 and compare the two numbers:
156.5 - 17 = 139.5
296 - 156.5 = 139.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 139.5 higher than 17 and 139.5 lower than 296. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 156.5 above is correct.
