When you ask "What number is halfway between 74 and 497?" 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=497.
To find the number halfway between 74 and 497, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 74 and 497 into our formula, we get:
(74 + 497)/2 = 285.5
Thus, the number halfway between 74 and 497 is 285.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 74 from 285.5 and subtract 285.5 from 497 and compare the two numbers:
285.5 - 74 = 211.5
497 - 285.5 = 211.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 211.5 higher than 74 and 211.5 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 285.5 above is correct.
