When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 985?" 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=985.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 985, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 985 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 985)/2 = 493.5
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 985 is 493.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 493.5 and subtract 493.5 from 985 and compare the two numbers:
493.5 - 2 = 491.5
985 - 493.5 = 491.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 491.5 higher than 2 and 491.5 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 493.5 above is correct.
