When you ask "What number is halfway between 48 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=48 and Y=985.
To find the number halfway between 48 and 985, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 48 and 985 into our formula, we get:
(48 + 985)/2 = 516.5
Thus, the number halfway between 48 and 985 is 516.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 48 from 516.5 and subtract 516.5 from 985 and compare the two numbers:
516.5 - 48 = 468.5
985 - 516.5 = 468.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 468.5 higher than 48 and 468.5 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 516.5 above is correct.
