For every 2 shaded parts there are 3 unshaded parts.
For every 9 shaded parts there are 2 unshaded parts.
For every 3 shaded parts there are 6 unshaded parts.
For every 3 shaded parts there are 2 unshaded parts.

There are 9 shaded and 6 unshaded → ratio shaded:unshaded = 9:6 = 3:2.
So: "For every 3 shaded parts there are 2 unshaded parts."
