When you ask "What number is halfway between 23 and 98?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=23 and Y=98.
To find the number halfway between 23 and 98, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 23 and 98 into our formula, we get:
(23 + 98)/2 = 60.5
Thus, the number halfway between 23 and 98 is 60.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 23 from 60.5 and subtract 60.5 from 98 and compare the two numbers:
60.5 - 23 = 37.5
98 - 60.5 = 37.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 37.5 higher than 23 and 37.5 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 60.5 above is correct.
