When you ask "What number is halfway between 28 and 971?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=28 and Y=971.
To find the number halfway between 28 and 971, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 28 and 971 into our formula, we get:
(28 + 971)/2 = 499.5
Thus, the number halfway between 28 and 971 is 499.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 28 from 499.5 and subtract 499.5 from 971 and compare the two numbers:
499.5 - 28 = 471.5
971 - 499.5 = 471.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 471.5 higher than 28 and 471.5 lower than 971. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 499.5 above is correct.
