When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 71?" 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=71.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 71, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 71 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 71)/2 = 36.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 71 is 36.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 36.5 and subtract 36.5 from 71 and compare the two numbers:
36.5 - 2 = 34.5
71 - 36.5 = 34.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 34.5 higher than 2 and 34.5 lower than 71. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 36.5 above is correct.
