When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 317?" 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=317.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 317, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 317 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 317)/2 = 179.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 317 is 179.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 179.5 and subtract 179.5 from 317 and compare the two numbers:
179.5 - 42 = 137.5
317 - 179.5 = 137.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 137.5 higher than 42 and 137.5 lower than 317. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 179.5 above is correct.
