1/3 is one "third (a part when a whole is divided into 3)"
1/4 is one "fourth (a part when a whole is divided into 4)"
2/3 is two "thirds"
3/3 is three "thirds" (or a whole)
4/3 is four "thirds"
5/3 is five "thirds"
1/2 is one "half (a part when a whole is divided into 2)"
2/2 is two "halves (plural of half)"
3/2 is three "halves"
1/1 is one "whole (a part when a whole is divided into 1)"
2/1 is two "wholes"
therefore,
3/1 is three "wholes"

it means three.
if 1/3 means one divided by three, then 3/1 means three divided by one, which equals three.
