When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 537?" 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=537.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 537, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 537 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 537)/2 = 289.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 537 is 289.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 289.5 and subtract 289.5 from 537 and compare the two numbers:
289.5 - 42 = 247.5
537 - 289.5 = 247.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 247.5 higher than 42 and 247.5 lower than 537. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 289.5 above is correct.
