When you ask "What number is halfway between 74 and 491?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=74 and Y=491.
To find the number halfway between 74 and 491, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 74 and 491 into our formula, we get:
(74 + 491)/2 = 282.5
Thus, the number halfway between 74 and 491 is 282.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 74 from 282.5 and subtract 282.5 from 491 and compare the two numbers:
282.5 - 74 = 208.5
491 - 282.5 = 208.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 208.5 higher than 74 and 208.5 lower than 491. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 282.5 above is correct.
