for a ratio of 3: 2, divide ab into 3 equal parts. each equal part is 3 units, so the point that divides ab into a 3: 2 ratio is 0.
for a ratio of 3: 2, divide ab into 3 equal parts. each equal part is 3 units, so the point that divides ab into a 3: 2 ratio is 3.
for a ratio of 3: 2, divide ab into 5 equal parts. each equal part is 2 units, so the point that divides ab into a 3: 2 ratio is 1.
for a ratio of 3: 2, divide ab into 5 equal parts. each equal part is 2 units, so the point that divides ab into a 3: 2 ratio is 2.
