When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 875?" 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=875.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 875, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 875 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 875)/2 = 458.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 875 is 458.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 458.5 and subtract 458.5 from 875 and compare the two numbers:
458.5 - 42 = 416.5
875 - 458.5 = 416.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 416.5 higher than 42 and 416.5 lower than 875. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 458.5 above is correct.
