Direction (36-40): Read the information carefully and answer the following questions

The table given below shows the number of accounts opened by four different branches (A, B, C and D) in four different months.

Months/Branches	A	B	C	D
January	15	20	22	25
February	18	25	12	24
March	30	40	42	45
April	35	32	40	16

Find the ratio of the number of accounts opened by A and B together in January to the number of accounts opened by D in March.

To find the required ratio, we need to determine the number of accounts opened by branches A and B together in January, and compare it to the number of accounts opened by branch D in March.

First, let us find the number of accounts opened by branch A and branch B in January from the table:
- Number of accounts opened by A in January = 15
- Number of accounts opened by B in January = 20

Therefore, the total number of accounts opened by A and B together in January is:

$15+20=35$

Next, let us find the number of accounts opened by branch D in March from the table:
- Number of accounts opened by D in March = 45

Now, we find the ratio of the number of accounts opened by A and B together in January to the number of accounts opened by D in March:

$\text{Ratio}=\frac{35}{45}$

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, we get:

$\frac{35/5}{45/5}=\frac{7}{9}$

Thus, the ratio is 7: 9.
