When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 749?" 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=749.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 749, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 749 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 749)/2 = 395.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 749 is 395.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 395.5 and subtract 395.5 from 749 and compare the two numbers:
395.5 - 42 = 353.5
749 - 395.5 = 353.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 353.5 higher than 42 and 353.5 lower than 749. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 395.5 above is correct.
