Halfway Between 47 and 470

When you ask "What number is halfway between 47 and 470?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=47 and Y=470.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 47 and 470, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 47 and 470 into our formula, we get:

(47 + 470)/2 = 258.5

Thus, the number halfway between 47 and 470 is 258.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 47 from 258.5 and subtract 258.5 from 470 and compare the two numbers:

258.5 - 47 = 211.5
470 - 258.5 = 211.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 211.5 higher than 47 and 211.5 lower than 470. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 258.5 above is correct.
