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.C
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.D
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.
