Jana is expected to win 40 more games over Ty.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ty plays the game 120 times, he is expected to win in 1/3 part of 120 games, which is (1/3 * 120 = ) 40 games.

If Jana plays the game 120 times, she is expected to win in 2/3 part of 120 games, which is (2/3 * 120 = ) 80 games.

If Jana is expected to win 80 times an Ty is expected to 40 times, then Jana is expected to win (80 - 40 = ) 40 more games over Ty.
