First, balance the equation:
CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O

Use the coefficients to find the mole ratio...
for every 1 mole CH4 that reacts, 2 moles of H2O will be produced

therefore,

4.26 x 2 = 8.52 moles of H2O are produced

the balanced reaction is
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O

So there would be 8.52 moles of water produced.
