Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach?  well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.

if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.

the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{gallons}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of bleach}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of bleach}}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{pure water}&x&0.00&0x\\
\textit{6\% solution}&5&0.06&0.3\\
-----&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.04&0.04y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+5=\boxed{y}\\
0x+0.3=0.04y\\
---------\\
0.3=0.04\left( \boxed{x+5} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.3=0.04x+0.2\implies 0.1=0.04x\implies \cfrac{0.1}{0.04}=x\implies 2.5=x

To see if multiple ratios are proportional, you could write them as fractions, reduce them, and compare them. If the reduced fractions are all the same, then you have proportional ratios.
