When you ask "What number is halfway between 42 and 995?" 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=995.
To find the number halfway between 42 and 995, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 42 and 995 into our formula, we get:
(42 + 995)/2 = 518.5
Thus, the number halfway between 42 and 995 is 518.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 42 from 518.5 and subtract 518.5 from 995 and compare the two numbers:
518.5 - 42 = 476.5
995 - 518.5 = 476.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 476.5 higher than 42 and 476.5 lower than 995. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 518.5 above is correct.
