When you ask "What number is halfway between 8 and 491?" 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=491.
To find the number halfway between 8 and 491, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 8 and 491 into our formula, we get:
(8 + 491)/2 = 249.5
Thus, the number halfway between 8 and 491 is 249.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 8 from 249.5 and subtract 249.5 from 491 and compare the two numbers:
249.5 - 8 = 241.5
491 - 249.5 = 241.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 241.5 higher than 8 and 241.5 lower than 491. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 249.5 above is correct.
