1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{7}{5} \times 1 - \frac{2}{3} - \left(-\frac{4}{5}\right) \cdot \frac{4}{3} + \frac{1}{3}$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{7}{5} \times 1 - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{4}{3} + \frac{1}{3}$$
(Note that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.)
3. **Calculate each term:**
- $$\frac{7}{5} \times 1 = \frac{7}{5}$$
- $$\frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{4}{3} = \frac{16}{15}$$
4. **Substitute back:**
$$\frac{7}{5} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{16}{15} + \frac{1}{3}$$
5. **Find a common denominator:** The denominators are 5, 3, and 15. The least common denominator is 15.
6. **Convert each fraction:**
- $$\frac{7}{5} = \frac{7 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{21}{15}$$
- $$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{10}{15}$$
- $$\frac{16}{15}$$ (already with denominator 15)
- $$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{5}{15}$$
7. **Rewrite the expression with common denominators:**
$$\frac{21}{15} - \frac{10}{15} + \frac{16}{15} + \frac{5}{15}$$
8. **Combine the numerators:**
$$21 - 10 + 16 + 5 = 32$$
9. **Final fraction:**
$$\frac{32}{15}$$
10. **Simplify if possible:** 32 and 15 have no common factors other than 1, so the fraction is in simplest form.
**Final answer:** $$\boxed{\frac{32}{15}}$$
