It seems as if you are saying to change ROF to 1/ROF, which would be an indication of you thinking it is x/(y/z). Maybe this is simply a result of me being confused by the wording of your post. I don't know.

I will argue that x/(y*z) is not easier than x/y/z. Use a calculator. Fewer keystrokes with x/y/z.
Actually, it is algebra.

But yes, if you are dependant on a calculator to do the computations, it may be quicker to do it as you have described.

But if you do it in your head, my formula is easier.
