When you ask "What number is halfway between 48 and 489?" 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=489.

To find the number halfway between 48 and 489, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 48 and 489 into our formula, we get:
(48 + 489)/2 = 268.5
Thus, the number halfway between 48 and 489 is 268.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 48 from 268.5 and subtract 268.5 from 489 and compare the two numbers:
268.5 - 48 = 220.5
489 - 268.5 = 220.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 220.5 higher than 48 and 220.5 lower than 489. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 268.5 above is correct.
