When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 587?" 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=587.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 587, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 587 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 587)/2 = 314.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 587 is 314.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 314.5 and subtract 314.5 from 587 and compare the two numbers:
314.5 - 42 = 272.5
587 - 314.5 = 272.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 272.5 higher than 42 and 272.5 lower than 587. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 314.5 above is correct.
