For each of the first three months of last year, the graph shows the number of service requests handled by the Technical Services department at a certain company and the number of those service requests that were high, medium, or low priority. For example, the graph shows that in March, the department handled approximately 590 requests: approximately 310 high priority, 120 medium priority, and 160 low priority.
Select from the drop-down menus the options that complete the statement so that it most accurately reflects the information provided.
Among the three months shown, the month for which high-priority requests constituted the greatest proportion of the total number of requests for the month is , and that month had total number of requests, among the three.

Among the three months shown, the month for which high-priority requests constituted the greatest proportion of the total number of requests for the month is___________
This is a tricky question and they are trying to trick you by giving months which have greater number of high priority cases (Jan and Feb) but they contribute to lower proportion/percentage of overall cases in that month as compared to March.
Now, if you read carefully then they are asking to select the month which has greater proportion and NOT greater number of high priority cases.
We do not need to calculate the exact values in this case as it is visible that March has more than 50% of high priority cases and Jan and Feb has less than 50% of high priority cases.
So, Answer is March
and that month had____________total number of requests, among the three.
March has Least no. of cases as compared to Jan and Feb
So, Answer is Least
Approximate Math below for reference.
Jan has approximately 410 high priority cases out of 1100 cases making proportion of high priority cases as around 37%
Feb has approximately 380 high priority cases out of 920 cases making proportion of high priority cases as around 41%
Mar has approximately 300 high priority cases out of 590 cases making proportion of high priority cases as around 51%
Hope it helps!

1)For the first blank we need to see the value constituted by the high priority request with respect to total:
1)March month - High priority-310,Total-590,%=52.5
2)Feb month - High priority~380 ,Total~920,%=42
3)Jan month - High priority~410,Total-1100,%=37.27,
So March is the answer here for the first blank and as we can see from the above calculation March's total is the least among the three, so least is the answer for second blank
