A boat is docked at a pier. Hanging over the side of the boat is a rope ladder with its rungs spaced exactly 1 foot apart. At low tide, the bottom 3 rungs of the ladder are completely submerged in the ocean. If the tide rises at a steady rate of 6 inches per hour, how many rungs of the ladder will be underwater after 4 hours?
