Mistakes in PE Interview

I am applying to junior role of direct private equity team on LP side(SWF)

I think I have made a mistake but I have done pretty well overall other than this.

Do you guys think it will be critical..?

Interviewer asked me about levered free cash flow yield of my past deal experience.

I suddendly didn't collect the exact definition of LFCF yield So I just laid out like~

NTM LFCF is 200mil, so you divide this number by EV 6bn or If you use the equity value 2bn here, you can divide it and cumulative LFCF is 1bn here.

I know I have to be super cool but this acts like a nuisance on my daily routine :(
