The small intestine is a long, narrow, coiled tube extending from the stomach to the large intestine. This is the place where most digestion and absorption of food takes place. The small intestine of a human can be as long as 6 to 8 meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area.
The large intenstine measures approximately 1.5 meters in length
---------
The answer to your question...
The length of both intestines is around:
7.5 to 9.5 meters
or:
295.28 inches to 374.02 inches
