To solve \( 3.9 + \frac{1}{3} \):

1. Convert 3.9 into a fraction:  
   \[
   3.9 = \frac{39}{10}
   \]

2. Now, add it to \( \frac{1}{3} \):
   \[
   \frac{39}{10} + \frac{1}{3}
   \]

3. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 10 and 3, which is 30.

4. Rewrite the fractions with the denominator of 30:
   \[
   \frac{39}{10} = \frac{117}{30} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{30}
   \]

5. Add the fractions:
   \[
   \frac{117}{30} + \frac{10}{30} = \frac{127}{30}
   \]

6. Convert back to a decimal if needed:
   \[
   \frac{127}{30} \approx 4.2333
   \]

So, \( 3.9 + \frac{1}{3} \approx 4.2333 \).
