When you ask "What number is halfway between 87 and 288?" 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=288.
To find the number halfway between 87 and 288, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 87 and 288 into our formula, we get:
(87 + 288)/2 = 187.5
Thus, the number halfway between 87 and 288 is 187.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 87 from 187.5 and subtract 187.5 from 288 and compare the two numbers:
187.5 - 87 = 100.5
288 - 187.5 = 100.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 100.5 higher than 87 and 100.5 lower than 288. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 187.5 above is correct.
