When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 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=8 and Y=971.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 971, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 971 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 971)/2 = 489.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 971 is 489.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 489.5 and subtract 489.5 from 971 and compare the two numbers:
489.5 - 8 = 481.5
971 - 489.5 = 481.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 481.5 higher than 8 and 481.5 lower than 971. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 489.5 above is correct.
