How do we know it isn't (3/1)/3?
That is the stupidity of these problems.
There is an appearance difference between the following two:
3 / 1/3
3/1 / 3
They aren't the same.

Mathematically they are exactly the same.
Convert the division to multiplication, so that the 'left to right' protocol is irrelevant.
3 x (1/1) x (1/3) = 1
Every time, either direction.
