When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 588?" 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=588.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 588, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 588 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 588)/2 = 302.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 588 is 302.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 302.5 and subtract 302.5 from 588 and compare the two numbers:
302.5 - 17 = 285.5
588 - 302.5 = 285.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 285.5 higher than 17 and 285.5 lower than 588. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 302.5 above is correct.
