Explanation:

Step1: Identify rainfall amounts less than $\frac{4}{8}$

We look at amounts $\frac{1}{8},\frac{2}{8},\frac{3}{8}$.

Step2: Count the number of 'X's for these amounts

For $\frac{1}{8}$, there are 4 'X's; for $\frac{2}{8}$, there are 3 'X's; for $\frac{3}{8}$, there are 2 'X's.

Step3: Sum up the counts

$4 + 3+2=9$.

B. 9
