To find the total amount of sugar the baker has after adding \( \frac{1}{9} \) cups to \( \frac{1}{3} \) cups, we need to add these two fractions together.
First, let's convert \( \frac{1}{3} \) to a fraction with a common denominator of 9:
\[
\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}
\]
Now we can add \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{1}{9} \):
\[
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{3 + 1}{9} = \frac{4}{9}
\]
Thus, the total amount of sugar is \( \frac{4}{9} \) cups.
The answer is \( \frac{4}{9} \).

Now we can add \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{1}{9} \):
\[
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{3 + 1}{9} = \frac{4}{9}
\]
Thus, the total amount of sugar is \( \frac{4}{9} \) cups.
The answer is \( \frac{4}{9} \).
