When you ask "What number is halfway between 21 and 456?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=21 and Y=456.
To find the number halfway between 21 and 456, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 21 and 456 into our formula, we get:
(21 + 456)/2 = 238.5
Thus, the number halfway between 21 and 456 is 238.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 21 from 238.5 and subtract 238.5 from 456 and compare the two numbers:
238.5 - 21 = 217.5
456 - 238.5 = 217.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 217.5 higher than 21 and 217.5 lower than 456. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 238.5 above is correct.
