To find out how much water was lost, we need to determine the difference between the starting amount of water in the pool (34 full) and the ending amount of water in the pool (310 full).
310 full - 34 full = 276 full
So, 276 full of water was lost.
However, since the question is asking for the answer in fraction form, we need to express 276 full as a fraction of the original amount (34 full).
Therefore,
276/34 = 18/2 = 9/1
So, 9/20 of the water was lost.
The correct answer is 9/20.
