When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 489?" 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=489.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 489, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 489 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 489)/2 = 248.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 489 is 248.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 248.5 and subtract 248.5 from 489 and compare the two numbers:
248.5 - 8 = 240.5
489 - 248.5 = 240.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 240.5 higher than 8 and 240.5 lower than 489. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 248.5 above is correct.
