When you ask "What number is halfway between 26 and 279?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=26 and Y=279.
To find the number halfway between 26 and 279, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 26 and 279 into our formula, we get:
(26 + 279)/2 = 152.5
Thus, the number halfway between 26 and 279 is 152.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 26 from 152.5 and subtract 152.5 from 279 and compare the two numbers:
152.5 - 26 = 126.5
279 - 152.5 = 126.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 126.5 higher than 26 and 126.5 lower than 279. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 152.5 above is correct.
