4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Last year during the hurricane season, the amount of rain that fell on the Texas Gulf Coast in October was 14 inches, which was 3 1/2times more than the rainfall during September of the same year.

The amount of rain that fell during the month of September can be calculated as:

= 14 inches ÷ 3 1/2

= 14 ÷ 7/2

= 14 × 2/7

= 28/7

= 4 inches

The rain that fell during the month of September was 4 inches.

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
