When you ask "What number is halfway between 87 and 286?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=87 and Y=286.
To find the number halfway between 87 and 286, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 87 and 286 into our formula, we get:
(87 + 286)/2 = 186.5
Thus, the number halfway between 87 and 286 is 186.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 87 from 186.5 and subtract 186.5 from 286 and compare the two numbers:
186.5 - 87 = 99.5
286 - 186.5 = 99.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 99.5 higher than 87 and 99.5 lower than 286. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 186.5 above is correct.
