11 balls,

Explanation:

Let $x$ $x$ be the balls Paul hit out of the court. Then we have:

$x = 33 \cdot \frac{1}{3}$ $x=33*1/3$
$x = \frac{33}{3}$ $x=33/3$
$x = 11$ $x=11$

$11 balls$ $11" balls"$

Explanation:

$a \frac{1}{3} of a quantity is that quantity divided into 3 parts$ $" a "1/3" of a quantity is that quantity divided into 3 parts"$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} of 33 = 33 \div 3 = 11$ $rArr1/3" of "33=33-:3=11$

$"or "1/cancel(3)^1xxcancel(33)^(11)=11$

$"Paul hit 11 balls out of the court"$
