When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 42?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=1 and Y=42.
To find the number halfway between 1 and 42, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 1 and 42 into our formula, we get:
(1 + 42)/2 = 21.5
Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 42 is 21.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 21.5 and subtract 21.5 from 42 and compare the two numbers:
21.5 - 1 = 20.5
42 - 21.5 = 20.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 20.5 higher than 1 and 20.5 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 21.5 above is correct.
