Answer:

`(7)/(8)` inch

Rainfall in October is
`2(1)/(4)` inch

Convert mixed fraction into fraction

`\Rightarrow 2(1)/(4)=(9)/(4)\ \text{inch}`

Difference between the two gives that how much more rain fall in October compared to September

`\Rightarrow (9)/(4)-(7)/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow (18-7)/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow (11)/(8)\ \text{inch or}\\\\\Rightarrow 1(3)/(8)\ \text{inch}`
