When you ask "What number is halfway between 39 and 120?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=39 and Y=120.
To find the number halfway between 39 and 120, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 39 and 120 into our formula, we get:
(39 + 120)/2 = 79.5
Thus, the number halfway between 39 and 120 is 79.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 39 from 79.5 and subtract 79.5 from 120 and compare the two numbers:
79.5 - 39 = 40.5
120 - 79.5 = 40.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 40.5 higher than 39 and 40.5 lower than 120. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 79.5 above is correct.
