When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 and 987?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=26 and Y=987.
To find the number halfway between 26 and 987, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 26 and 987 into our formula, we get:
(26 + 987)/2 = 506.5
Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 987 is 506.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 506.5 and subtract 506.5 from 987 and compare the two numbers:
506.5 - 26 = 480.5
987 - 506.5 = 480.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 480.5 higher than 26 and 480.5 lower than 987. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 506.5 above is correct.
