When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 498?" 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=498.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 498, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 498 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 498)/2 = 257.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 498 is 257.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 257.5 and subtract 257.5 from 498 and compare the two numbers:
257.5 - 17 = 240.5
498 - 257.5 = 240.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 240.5 higher than 17 and 240.5 lower than 498. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 257.5 above is correct.
