When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 542?" 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=542.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 542, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 542 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 542)/2 = 310.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 542 is 310.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 310.5 and subtract 310.5 from 542 and compare the two numbers:
310.5 - 79 = 231.5
542 - 310.5 = 231.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 231.5 higher than 79 and 231.5 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 310.5 above is correct.
