When you ask "What number is halfway between 71 and 248?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=71 and Y=248.
To find the number halfway between 71 and 248, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 71 and 248 into our formula, we get:
(71 + 248)/2 = 159.5
Thus, the number halfway between 71 and 248 is 159.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 71 from 159.5 and subtract 159.5 from 248 and compare the two numbers:
159.5 - 71 = 88.5
248 - 159.5 = 88.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 88.5 higher than 71 and 88.5 lower than 248. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 159.5 above is correct.
