Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight

Answer:

$\frac{23}{4}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ feet

= $\frac{5}{2}$ feet

The depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm = 3 $\frac{1}{4}$ feet

= $\frac{13}{4}$ feet

The position of the fish with respect to the water's surface at 4:00 pm = the depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm + the depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm

= $\frac{5}{2}$ + $\frac{13}{4}$

= $\frac{10 + 13}{4}$
