When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 524?" 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=524.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 524, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 524 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 524)/2 = 270.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 524 is 270.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 270.5 and subtract 270.5 from 524 and compare the two numbers:
270.5 - 17 = 253.5
524 - 270.5 = 253.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 253.5 higher than 17 and 253.5 lower than 524. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 270.5 above is correct.
