Well, this question can be answered using simple arithmetic. Here are the steps.

1. Take 4 divided by 7. This equals. 00.57.
2. Now add 14 + 0.57.
3. Now you have your total amount of rain in the inches denominator.
4. To find the average, you now take the number of hours in a day (24/hr) and divide it by the amount of rain (14.57/in)

$$14.57\div24$$
=0.61 inches/hour.
