Question

what integer is half way between -2 and 4 on the number line picture​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number halfway between 2 and 3, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 3 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 3)/2 = 2.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 3 is 2.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we deduct 2 from 2.5 and deduct 2.5 from 3 and compare the two numbers:

2.5 - 2 = 3 - 2.5 = same = 0.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 0.5 higher than 2 and 0.5 lower than 3. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 2.5 above is correct.
