Question

A size 8 kids shoe measures 9 2/3 inches. If 5 pairs of size 8 kids shoes are lined end to end, then how many inches will they cover?

Answer 1

Given :

The size of kids shoe measure = 9 $\dfrac{2}{3}$ inches = $\dfrac{29}{3}$ inches

Total number of pairs of shoes = 5

To Find :

The total inches of shoes when lined end to end

Solution :

As The pairs of shoes = 5

So, Total number of shoes = 5 × 2 = 10

∵ The size of one shoe = $\dfrac{29}{3}$ inches

∴ The size of 10 shoes = $\dfrac{29}{3}$  × 10 inches

                                     = $\dfrac{290}{3}$  inches

                                    = 96 $\dfrac{2}{3}$ inches

Hence, The length that 5 pairs of shoes will cover is 96 $\dfrac{2}{3}$ inches  . Answer
