Ratio calculation...pls check?

I was trying to help my daughter with a math problem, and I was thrown by the wording as 1 BY 20 intead of 1 to 20 which I expected, but I think something just clicked, so can someone please confirm if this calculation below is correct, so I know I am thinking about it right now.

- Scale model is 1 by 20

- Scale ratio is 1:40

- Actual item size is 40 x 800

THX for the help!
