High Tide

Published:

A ship in port has a rope ladder that hangs over the side and into the water.
The rungs on the ladder are exactly a foot apart from center to center. At low
tide, three rungs of the ladder are underwater. How many rungs will be
underwater at high tide, which is exactly three feet higher than low tide?

JAP69 Right on...The ship rises with high tide, so the rungs remain as is.
