Answer:

Each friend will receive
(5)/(6) rolls of ribbon.

Explanation:

We are asked to divide 5 rolls of ribbon equally among 6 friends and determine the amount of ribbon received by each person.

To find the amount of ribbon received by each person, we will divide total amount of ribbon by 6 as:


\text{Rolls of ribbon received by each person}=\frac{5\text{ Rolls}}{\text{ 6 persons}}


\text{Rolls of ribbon received by each person}=(5)/(6)\frac{\text{Rolls}}{\text{ persons}}

Therefore, each friend will receive
(5)/(6) rolls of ribbon.
