If Houston, TX has an average rainfall of 5.2 times that of El Paso, Texas then you would need to divide Houston's rainfall by 5.2 to determine El Paso's rainfall. This would be 46/5.2 or 8.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
The math:

(46)/(5.2) = (460)/(52) = (230)/(26)= (115)/(13) =8.84..., rounded down to 8.8
