The experimental probability that Mindy will win a game of chance is 2/5. The experimental probability that James will win the game of chance is 5/8. If they each play 200 games, who will win more games and by how much?

work:
I made 2 proportions

2/5 = x/200
5x = 400/5
x = 80

5/8 = x/200
8x = 1000/8
x = 125

then I subtracted 125 - 80 = 45

Answer: James will win more games, by 45 games.

Is this correct?
