When you ask "What number is halfway between 86 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=86 and Y=987.
To find the number halfway between 86 and 987, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 86 and 987 into our formula, we get:
(86 + 987)/2 = 536.5
Thus, the number halfway between 86 and 987 is 536.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 86 from 536.5 and subtract 536.5 from 987 and compare the two numbers:
536.5 - 86 = 450.5
987 - 536.5 = 450.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 450.5 higher than 86 and 450.5 lower than 987. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 536.5 above is correct.
