First, we need to find out what fraction of the wall is not painted white. Since Maria painted 3/4 of the wall white, the remaining part is 1 - 3/4 = 1/4.
Next, we need to find out what fraction of the wall Maria actually painted red. She painted 1/3 of the 1/4 remaining part, which is equal to 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12.
Therefore, the fraction of the wall that is painted red is 1/12. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{12}}.
Maria painted 3/4 of a wall white. She painted 1/3 of the remaining part of the wall red. What fraction of the wall is painted red?
