Default Fold Equity

Is this mathematically sound?

Let's assume we're playing NLHE in a nine handed game. I'm UTG and I decide to raise. Let's also assume that my opponents will only call with QQ-AA and AK. We have a total of 1225 two card starting hands. We have six combos
of a pocket pair so that's 18 combos and 16 more combos for
AK. That's 34 combos of hands. 34 divided by 1225 is 0.028 or 2.8%. So that means each subsequent player has
a 2.8% chance of having a playable hand. I have 8 players
yet to act so there is a roughly 22% chance I will be called based on my ranges.

Is my math flawed or am I accurate.

Thanks.

Bruce
