When you ask "What number is halfway between 27 and 542?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=27 and Y=542.
To find the number halfway between 27 and 542, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 27 and 542 into our formula, we get:
(27 + 542)/2 = 284.5
Thus, the number halfway between 27 and 542 is 284.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 27 from 284.5 and subtract 284.5 from 542 and compare the two numbers:
284.5 - 27 = 257.5
542 - 284.5 = 257.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 257.5 higher than 27 and 257.5 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 284.5 above is correct.
