\[ 4 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{11}{3} = 3.\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\) and \(\frac{-1}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4 - \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{4 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{12 + -1}{3} \\ &= \frac{11}{3} \end{aligned} \]
