When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 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=8 and Y=985.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 985, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 985 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 985)/2 = 496.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 985 is 496.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 496.5 and subtract 496.5 from 985 and compare the two numbers:
496.5 - 8 = 488.5
985 - 496.5 = 488.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 488.5 higher than 8 and 488.5 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 496.5 above is correct.
