When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 and 278?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=3 and Y=278.
To find the number halfway between 3 and 278, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 3 and 278 into our formula, we get:
(3 + 278)/2 = 140.5
Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 278 is 140.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 140.5 and subtract 140.5 from 278 and compare the two numbers:
140.5 - 3 = 137.5
278 - 140.5 = 137.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 137.5 higher than 3 and 137.5 lower than 278. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 140.5 above is correct.
