When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 31?" 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=31.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 31, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 31 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 31)/2 = 16.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 31 is 16.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 16.5 and subtract 16.5 from 31 and compare the two numbers:
16.5 - 2 = 14.5
31 - 16.5 = 14.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 14.5 higher than 2 and 14.5 lower than 31. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 16.5 above is correct.
