When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 498?" 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=498.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 498, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 498 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 498)/2 = 288.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 498 is 288.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 288.5 and subtract 288.5 from 498 and compare the two numbers:
288.5 - 79 = 209.5
498 - 288.5 = 209.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 209.5 higher than 79 and 209.5 lower than 498. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 288.5 above is correct.
