Chemistry problem...i got half of it?

Zinc metal reacts with sulfur to produce a white powder of Zinc sulfide. If 65.4g of zinc reacts with 32.1g of sulfur to form the commpund, calculate how many grams of the compund can be produced from 20.0g of sulfur and enough zinc.

i did 65.4/32.1= 2.037
then 2.037 x20.0g= 40.7
thats as far as i got....

65.4gZn + 32.1gS = 97.5gZnS according to the given.

20.0gS x 97.5gZnS/32.1gS = 60.7g ZnS formed
