Explanation:

First, expand the term within the parenthesis:

30 -: 5 -: color(red)((2 xx 3)) -> 30 -: 5 -: color(red)(6)30÷5÷(2×3)→30÷5÷6

Next, because these are the same operators (-:÷) we can perform the calculations left to right and continue until we have completed the simplification:

30 -: 5 -: 6 -> color(red)((30 -: 5)) -: 6 -> color(red)(6) -: 630÷5÷6→(30÷5)÷6→6÷6 -> 1#
