You would get better results if you used the appropriate equation functions (i.e. square bracket, followed by fraction, :, fraction, :, fraction).

Select the first bracket and increase its font size (maybe to 36pt). You might also want to open the Font dialog and lower it by around 5pt to get it to align better. Do the same for the other bracket.

You will find the thickness of the line becomes very noticeable so you might want to either choose a more anaemic looking font for the bracket or perhaps change its colour to a somewhat lighter grey to reduce the heaviness.

Instead of asking other people to fix things for you - which you seem to be making a habit of - you need to learn how to do it for yourself. I don't normally use Word's equation functions, but it only took me a few moments to find the appropriate eqution functions. The advantage of using those is that they automatically adjust the various sizes to suit the task at hand. I've even told you how to go about it...
