When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 471?" 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=471.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 471, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 471 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 471)/2 = 256.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 471 is 256.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 256.5 and subtract 256.5 from 471 and compare the two numbers:
256.5 - 42 = 214.5
471 - 256.5 = 214.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 214.5 higher than 42 and 214.5 lower than 471. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256.5 above is correct.
