Sorry, that is not a valid IP - did you mean the last dot to be a period? In which case their should be a space after it.

That IP is useless for your friend because it is only valid for your LAN. You need a web server, and a gateway to the internet. You need to configure the gateway to send http requests to the web server. You need to give your friend your external IP. The standard linux web server is Apache - read it's documentation.

ISPs usually have special accounts for people who want to run web servers through them and take a dim view of people who use a domestic account for this - check your contract... Anyway: your upload speed is probably too slow to be of much use. It is usually simpler to set up a home-page with your ISP and serve the web page from there. Many ISPs provide a simple homepage service as part of your regular account. Phone them and ask.
