Here are all the ways two dice can fall

(1,1)  (1,2)   (1,3)  (1,4)   (1,5)  (1,6)
 
(2,1)  (2,2)   (2,3)  (2,4)   (2,5)  (2,6)
 
(3,1)  (3,2)   (3,3)  (3,4)   (3,5)  (3,6)
 
(4,1)  (4,2)   (4,3)  (4,4)   (4,5)  (4,6)
 
(5,1)  (5,2)   (5,3)  (5,4)   (5,5)  (5,6)
 
(6,1)  (6,2)   (6,3)  (6,4)   (6,5)  (6,6)


I will color the ones red which have sum 6.

(1,1)  (1,2)   (1,3)  (1,4)   (1,5)  (1,6)
 
(2,1)  (2,2)   (2,3)  (2,4)   (2,5)  (2,6)
 
(3,1)  (3,2)   (3,3)  (3,4)   (3,5)  (3,6)
 
(4,1)  (4,2)   (4,3)  (4,4)   (4,5)  (4,6)
 
(5,1)  (5,2)   (5,3)  (5,4)   (5,5)  (5,6)
 
(6,1)  (6,2)   (6,3)  (6,4)   (6,5)  (6,6)

So the probability of having sum 6 is 5 ways out of 36 or 

So you will roll a sum of six ths of the time, so

 of 200 times is  or about 28 times.
