To solve these questions, let's break it down step by step.

**Question 1: Determine how many outcomes are less than 5 on the number cube.**

The faces of a number cube (die) are numbered from 1 to 6. The numbers that are less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
So there are **4 outcomes** that are less than 5 on the number cube.

**Question 2: Theoretically, how many of the 15 rolls should result in a number less than 5?**

To find this, we need to look at the total outcomes. There are 4 favorable outcomes (1, 2, 3, and 4) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The proportion of outcomes that are less than 5 is:

\[
\text{Proportion} = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
\]

Now, if we roll the die 15 times, we can calculate the expected number of times a number less than 5 would appear by multiplying this proportion by 15:

\[
\text{Expected outcomes} = \frac{2}{3} \times 15 = 10
\]

**Complete the proportion:**

- Drop target 1: \(\frac{4}{6}\) (this is the proportion of favorable outcomes)
- Drop target 2: \(\frac{10}{15}\) (this is the expected outcomes for 15 rolls based on the proportion)

**Question 3: Theoretically, how many of the 15 rolls should result in a number less than 5?**

From the calculations above, the answer is:

**10**

So the answers to the questions are:
1. **4 outcomes**
2. Proportion: \(\frac{4}{6}\) for favorable outcomes and \(\frac{10}{15}\) for expected outcomes.
3. Theoretical outcome: **10**.
