When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 61?" 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=61.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 61, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 61 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 61)/2 = 51.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 61 is 51.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 51.5 and subtract 51.5 from 61 and compare the two numbers:
51.5 - 42 = 9.5
61 - 51.5 = 9.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 9.5 higher than 42 and 9.5 lower than 61. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 51.5 above is correct.
