My friend gave me her older Ipad and she cleared everything on her part from her apple ID but as I am setting up the Ipad again it is asking for an apple ID that does not belong to her. I’m not sure how to set it up without that unknown apple ID

You can't set it up. If you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them remove the device from their account, the device is worthless. Apple won't unlock it for you.
