When you ask "What number is halfway between 4 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=4 and Y=279.
To find the number halfway between 4 and 279, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 4 and 279 into our formula, we get:
(4 + 279)/2 = 141.5
Thus, the number halfway between 4 and 279 is 141.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 4 from 141.5 and subtract 141.5 from 279 and compare the two numbers:
141.5 - 4 = 137.5
279 - 141.5 = 137.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 137.5 higher than 4 and 137.5 lower than 279. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 141.5 above is correct.
