\(First\ we\ should\ calculate\ Area\ of\ the\ wall:\\\\ A=6*200=1200ft^2\\\\ Secondly\ calculate\ area\ of\ one\ brick\\\\ a=16*8=128ft^2\\\\ Dividing\ Area\ of\ wall\ by\ area\ of\ brick\ we \ will\ find\ number\\ of\ bricks:\\\\ \frac{A}{a}=\frac{1200ft^2}{128ft^2}= 9,375\\\\ It \ would\ take\ about\ 10 \ bricks.\)
