Note that
$$beginalign colorblue(30/2)/2 &= frac302times frac12\
&=colorteal frac302^2
endalign.$$
Hence
$$beginalign
(colorblue(30/2)/2)/2 &= colortealleft(frac302^2right)bigg/2\
&= frac302^2times frac12\
&= frac302^3.
endalign$$

Recall:
$(30/2)=30cdot dfrac12;$
$((30/2)/2)=(30cdot dfrac12)cdot dfrac12;$
$(30/2)/2)/2=$
$((30 cdot dfrac12)cdot dfrac12)cdot dfrac12= 30 cdot (dfrac12)^3= dfrac302^3$
Used: Associative law of multiplication.
