Solution:

Given: The given sentence is fifteen is to five as four is to two.

Required: The given sentence is true or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence is written in a proportion as follows:


15:5::4:2

The above proportion is written as:


(15)/(5)=(4)/(2)

Which is not true.

Thus, write as:


(15)/(5)\\e(4)/(2)

Final answer: The proportion is not a true proportion.
