Asterisk in numerical term

French to English Medical Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) UK English
I have the following numerical term in my text about ELISA: 0.08/305*5
Should I reproduce it as is, or should I change the asterisk to a multiplication sign when translating it from French to English?
Proposed translations (English)
5 +1 Asterisk in numerical term

Asterisk in numerical term

Keep the asterisk. It is pretty standard in equations, for all English variants.

And this is the standard symbol for multiplication in almost all scripting and programming languages.
