When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 285?" 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=285.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 285, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 285 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 285)/2 = 143.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 285 is 143.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 143.5 and subtract 143.5 from 285 and compare the two numbers:
143.5 - 2 = 141.5
285 - 143.5 = 141.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 141.5 higher than 2 and 141.5 lower than 285. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 143.5 above is correct.
