 * Hello [@roxta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roxta/)
 * My apologies for the delay in responding to your question. I did not receive 
   the forum notification about your entry.
 * You should not enter equations into the choices’ values. The formulas and equations
   must be defined in the calculated fields. For example, you can enter as the choices’
   values the numbers 1, 3, and 4.2, respectively. And then, in the calculated field,
   the equation would be:
 * `0.14/fieldname3`
 * The alternative would be to enter the formulas as the choices’ values, and the
   equation in the calculated field would be:
 * `eval(fieldname3)`
 * However, the first alternative is the preferred one.
 * Best regards.
