When you ask "What number is halfway between 48 and 261?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=48 and Y=261.
To find the number halfway between 48 and 261, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 48 and 261 into our formula, we get:
(48 + 261)/2 = 154.5
Thus, the number halfway between 48 and 261 is 154.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 48 from 154.5 and subtract 154.5 from 261 and compare the two numbers:
154.5 - 48 = 106.5
261 - 154.5 = 106.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 106.5 higher than 48 and 106.5 lower than 261. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 154.5 above is correct.
