When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 260?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=42 and Y=260.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 260, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 260 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 260)/2 = 151
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 260 is 151.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 151 and subtract 151 from 260 and compare the two numbers:
151 - 42 = 109
260 - 151 = 109
As you can see, the halfway number is 109 higher than 42 and 109 lower than 260. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 151 above is correct.
