When you ask "What number is halfway between 50 and 279?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=50 and Y=279.
To find the number halfway between 50 and 279, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 50 and 279 into our formula, we get:
(50 + 279)/2 = 164.5
Thus, the number halfway between 50 and 279 is 164.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 50 from 164.5 and subtract 164.5 from 279 and compare the two numbers:
164.5 - 50 = 114.5
279 - 164.5 = 114.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 114.5 higher than 50 and 114.5 lower than 279. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 164.5 above is correct.
