When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 and 496?" 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=496.
To find the number halfway between 3 and 496, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 3 and 496 into our formula, we get:
(3 + 496)/2 = 249.5
Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 496 is 249.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 249.5 and subtract 249.5 from 496 and compare the two numbers:
249.5 - 3 = 246.5
496 - 249.5 = 246.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 246.5 higher than 3 and 246.5 lower than 496. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 249.5 above is correct.
