If 1 mole of acetic acid and 1 mole of ethyl alcohol are mixed and reaction proceeds to equilibrium, the concentration of acetic acid and water are found 1/3 and 2/3 mole respectively. If 1 mole of ethyl acetate and 3 mole of water are mixed,how much ester is present when equilibrium is reached?

Chemistry, rate of reactions - help needed
I looked at this earlier. My problem with this problem is that I don't believe the first equilibrium can be right; therefore, I just decided to leave it.
