a ship is by the dock with its rope ladder hanging down if the steps on the ladder are 1 foot apart and the tide makes the water level rise by 2 feet per hour how many more rungs will be covered after 4 hours?

The ship would rise, not the rungs. Due to the fact that the ship is floating, the ladder would rise with it as the water got higher.

Haha...If I didnt know any better I'd think that you were in my math class trynna do the E.C. to add to your finals score. Anyways, heres the correct answer:
As the tide rises, the ship rises and the rope rises with the ship.
G.Luck on the final (if you're in my class - and if not then g.luck on whatever you're doing).
