To solve the problem $3 \times 1 \frac{1}{3}$, follow these steps:

• Convert the mixed number $1 \frac{1}{3}$ into an improper fraction.
• Multiply the whole number by this improper fraction.

Let's execute these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to an improper fraction.
First, multiply the whole number part by the denominator: $1 \times 3 = 3$.
Then, add the numerator: $3 + 1 = 4$.
So, $1 \frac{1}{3}$ converts to $\frac{4}{3}$.

Step 2: Multiply the whole number $3$ by $\frac{4}{3}$.
The multiplication is performed as follows: $3 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 4}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4$.
