When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 741?" 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=741.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 741, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 741 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 741)/2 = 391.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 741 is 391.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 391.5 and subtract 391.5 from 741 and compare the two numbers:
391.5 - 42 = 349.5
741 - 391.5 = 349.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 349.5 higher than 42 and 349.5 lower than 741. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 391.5 above is correct.
