Lately there have been a lot of talk about Hurricanes wrecking the coastal regions of the US. The latest one on the news is
Hurricane Ike. One statistic that I heard about this hurricane was that here in Los Angeles we have had 0.16 inches of rainfall from March 2008 to September 2008, while Hurricane Ike produced 15.75 inches of rain in just a few days in
Houston, Texas.

- About how many months of average Houston precipitation would equal the rainfall produced by Ike?
Remember to explain how you found the answers to the questions.
