When you ask "What number is halfway between 79 and 98?" 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=98.
To find the number halfway between 79 and 98, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 79 and 98 into our formula, we get:
(79 + 98)/2 = 88.5
Thus, the number halfway between 79 and 98 is 88.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 79 from 88.5 and subtract 88.5 from 98 and compare the two numbers:
88.5 - 79 = 9.5
98 - 88.5 = 9.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 9.5 higher than 79 and 9.5 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 88.5 above is correct.
