We need to convert 200 inches to feet, to do that we have to divide 200 by 12. Which is done below:

$(200)/(12)=(50)/(3)=(48+2)/(3)=16(2)/(3)\text{ feet }$

The question asks for feet and inches, so we need to convert the 2/3 feet to inches. This is done by multiplying 2/3 by 12.

$(2)/(3)\cdot12=(24)/(3)=8\text{ inches}$

The answer is 16 feet and 8 inches.
