No.
You have to divide the amount you call by the total pot after you call:
1.45/6.62 = 21.9%
note: taking rake into account, you probably really need about 24-25%. You could make it an exercise to calculate exactly how much. Tip: you need to set up the full EV equation to do that, not just use the ratio shortcut. As usual: 0) the equity E you need to call is unknown 1) list all the outcomes 2) list the probablity of each outcome 3) list the profit for each outcome 4) setup the EV equation 5) set EV to zero and solve for your equity E. You don't need algebra for steps 0 to 4.
Also, as yAAwn would say, on the river, it is a good exercise to not use pokerstove to estimate your equity. Instead, list all the possible winning hands in the range and the number of combos for each hand, then do the same for all the loosing hands. The reason for doing that is training yourself to estimate your equity and counting combos on the fly while you play.
Example:
Winning hands:
KJ - 12 combos
etc
Also in your range, should you really include stuff like 83, 82 and 32? You think he would call a raise preflop with this trash?
Also I would include some busted NFD's and maybe some combos of slow played AA,KK.
