When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 898?" 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=898.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 898, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 898 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 898)/2 = 457.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 898 is 457.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 457.5 and subtract 457.5 from 898 and compare the two numbers:
457.5 - 17 = 440.5
898 - 457.5 = 440.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 440.5 higher than 17 and 440.5 lower than 898. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 457.5 above is correct.
