To find out how much water was lost, subtract the initial amount of water from the final amount.
The initial amount was 34 full and the final amount was 310 full, so the water lost is 310 - 34 = 276 full.
The equivalent fraction of 276 full is 276/310.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2.
So, 276/310 simplifies to 138/155.
Therefore, the answer is Start Fraction 138 over 155 End Fraction.
