Answer:

2 strawberries

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of strawberries :

Ona has 8

Barton has 4

For both Ona and Barton to have the same Nunber of strawberries :

(Ona + Barton) /2 = (8 + 4) / 2 = 12 /2 = 6

That means both Ona and Barton will have 6 strawberries each

Hence,

Barton who has 4 strawberries needs 2 more while Ona who has 8 will give out 2

Hence, Ona should give two strawberries to Barton.
