When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 285?" 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=285.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 285, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 285 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 285)/2 = 163.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 285 is 163.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 163.5 and subtract 163.5 from 285 and compare the two numbers:
163.5 - 42 = 121.5
285 - 163.5 = 121.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 121.5 higher than 42 and 121.5 lower than 285. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 163.5 above is correct.
