When you ask "What number is halfway between 87 and 432?" 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=432.
To find the number halfway between 87 and 432, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 87 and 432 into our formula, we get:
(87 + 432)/2 = 259.5
Thus, the number halfway between 87 and 432 is 259.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 87 from 259.5 and subtract 259.5 from 432 and compare the two numbers:
259.5 - 87 = 172.5
432 - 259.5 = 172.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 172.5 higher than 87 and 172.5 lower than 432. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 259.5 above is correct.
