When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 850?" 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=850.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 850, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 850 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 850)/2 = 433.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 850 is 433.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 433.5 and subtract 433.5 from 850 and compare the two numbers:
433.5 - 17 = 416.5
850 - 433.5 = 416.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 416.5 higher than 17 and 416.5 lower than 850. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 433.5 above is correct.
