When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 173?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=2 and Y=173.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 173, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 173 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 173)/2 = 87.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 173 is 87.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 87.5 and subtract 87.5 from 173 and compare the two numbers:
87.5 - 2 = 85.5
173 - 87.5 = 85.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 85.5 higher than 2 and 85.5 lower than 173. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 87.5 above is correct.
