If triangle T R M is similar to triangle K B V, and the ratio of line segment R M to line segment B V is two to five, what do you know about the relationship between line segment M T and line segment V K? Explain.

The relationship between they are two to five too.

If the triangles are similar, then the ratio of any two corresponding sides will be the same. Since the ratio of RM to BV is 4:1, then the ratio of MT to VK is also 4:1. I'm assuming that your transcription of the question had a typo, because line segment BK doesn't correspond to MT unless the question was worded wrong, or one of the triangles is a mirror image of the other.
