Emily, thanks for using the app.
First, do the denominator: ⅓ + 1 = ⅓ + 3 ⁄3 = 4⁄3.
Second, flip the denominator "upstairs" to the numerator (when you divide by a fraction, it's the same as multiplying by its inverse): 4 * ¾ = ...

Wy is 1/3 = 3/3?

4 / ( 1/3 + 1 )
Our fraction has yet another fraction in the denominator, to solve or simplify the fraction in the denominator we have to add 1/3 + 1
Being able to add two fractions requires the denominator to be equal, the 1 can be converted to the fraction 3/3 now we'll do our addition:
1/3 + 3/3 = 4/3
Now we have 4 / (4/3) and yet still a fraction in the denominator and when we have either a fraction in the numerator or denominator we convert also the other one into a fraction, thus 4 becomes 4/1 and we get:
(4/1) / (4/3) in order to divide two fractions we exchange both numerator and denominator of the second fraction to convert the sum from division into a multiplication thus (4/3) becomes (3/4) so we'll get:
(4/1) * (3/4) = (4*3) / (1*4) = 12 / 4 = 3
If you're familiar with fractions you can (cross) simplify (4/1) * (3/4) into (1/1) * (3/1) = 1 * 3 = 3

Geraldo, I think you misunderstood the steps.
