When you ask "What number is halfway between 24 and 79?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=24 and Y=79.
To find the number halfway between 24 and 79, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 24 and 79 into our formula, we get:
(24 + 79)/2 = 51.5
Thus, the number halfway between 24 and 79 is 51.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 24 from 51.5 and subtract 51.5 from 79 and compare the two numbers:
51.5 - 24 = 27.5
79 - 51.5 = 27.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 27.5 higher than 24 and 27.5 lower than 79. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 51.5 above is correct.
