The rope ladder of a boat hangs over the side of the boat and just
reaches the water. Its rungs are 8 inches apart.

How many rungs will be under the water when the tide rises 4 feet?

This one is real simple.
I bet some of you must have tried to figure out how many inches make a
1 feet and then calculate.

The answer is not in maths but common sense, that if the tide rises 4
feet, so does the boat.
Hence the answer is none
