Decide whether the following proportion is true or false. $$ \frac{15}{11}=\frac{60}{22} $$ Is the proportion true or false? false true

1. Write the given proportion:
   $$
   \frac{15}{11} = \frac{60}{22}
   $$

2. Simplify the fraction on the right:
   $$
   \frac{60}{22} = \frac{60 \div 2}{22 \div 2} = \frac{30}{11}
   $$

3. Compare the two fractions:
   $$
   \frac{15}{11} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{30}{11}
   $$
   Clearly, $$\frac{15}{11} \neq \frac{30}{11}$$.

4. Therefore, the proportion is false.

$$
\boxed{\text{false}}
$$
The proportion is false.
