When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 261?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=8 and Y=261.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 261, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 261 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 261)/2 = 134.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 261 is 134.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 134.5 and subtract 134.5 from 261 and compare the two numbers:
134.5 - 8 = 126.5
261 - 134.5 = 126.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 126.5 higher than 8 and 126.5 lower than 261. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 134.5 above is correct.
