Answer 1

"Sarah and four friends", this means that we have a total of 5 persons.
They have four rolls of ribbon to share evenly.
1- This represents division as they have to equally divide four rolls among them.

2- The share of each can be calculated by dividing the four rolls they have by the five of them as follows:
share of each = 4/5 rolls = 0.8 rolls
