When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 559?" 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=559.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 559, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 559 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 559)/2 = 300.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 559 is 300.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 300.5 and subtract 300.5 from 559 and compare the two numbers:
300.5 - 42 = 258.5
559 - 300.5 = 258.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 258.5 higher than 42 and 258.5 lower than 559. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 300.5 above is correct.
