When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 480?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=79 and Y=480.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 480, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 480 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 480)/2 = 279.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 480 is 279.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 279.5 and subtract 279.5 from 480 and compare the two numbers:
279.5 - 79 = 200.5
480 - 279.5 = 200.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 200.5 higher than 79 and 200.5 lower than 480. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 279.5 above is correct.
