Explanation:

for more detail since my answer above is just my head math:

Let's first find out how many strawberries your friend has:

Your friend has 12 strawberries.

Now, we need to determine how many strawberries you have based on the given information. We know that you have 4 more strawberries than 2/4 as many strawberries as your friend.

2/4 of your friend's strawberries is equal to:

2/4 x 12 strawberries = 6 strawberries.

Now, add 4 more strawberries to this quantity to find the total number of strawberries you have:

6 strawberries + 4 strawberries = 10 strawberries.

Therefore, you have 10 strawberries.
