When you ask "What number is halfway between 21 and 856?" 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=856.
To find the number halfway between 21 and 856, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 21 and 856 into our formula, we get:
(21 + 856)/2 = 438.5
Thus, the number halfway between 21 and 856 is 438.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 21 from 438.5 and subtract 438.5 from 856 and compare the two numbers:
438.5 - 21 = 417.5
856 - 438.5 = 417.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 417.5 higher than 21 and 417.5 lower than 856. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 438.5 above is correct.
