When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 896?" 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=896.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 896, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 896 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 896)/2 = 456.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 896 is 456.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 456.5 and subtract 456.5 from 896 and compare the two numbers:
456.5 - 17 = 439.5
896 - 456.5 = 439.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 439.5 higher than 17 and 439.5 lower than 896. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 456.5 above is correct.
