When you ask "What number is halfway between 36 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=36 and Y=987.
To find the number halfway between 36 and 987, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 36 and 987 into our formula, we get:
(36 + 987)/2 = 511.5
Thus, the number halfway between 36 and 987 is 511.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 36 from 511.5 and subtract 511.5 from 987 and compare the two numbers:
511.5 - 36 = 475.5
987 - 511.5 = 475.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 475.5 higher than 36 and 475.5 lower than 987. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 511.5 above is correct.
