Multiply number of kids shoes lined up (5 pairs) by inches per shoe (9 2/3").

= 5 pairs * 9 2/3 inches per shoe
convert to improper fraction

= 5 * 29/3
multiply numerators

= (5*29)/3

= 145/3
convert back to mixed number

= 48 1/3 inches


ANSWER: 5 pair of size 8 shoes lined up will be 48 1/3 inches long.
