When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 281?" 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=281.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 281, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 281 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 281)/2 = 161.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 281 is 161.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 161.5 and subtract 161.5 from 281 and compare the two numbers:
161.5 - 42 = 119.5
281 - 161.5 = 119.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 119.5 higher than 42 and 119.5 lower than 281. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 161.5 above is correct.
