The chances are 1 in 3. Since 4 and 5 make up two sides of the die and the die has six sides. If you're rolling a pair of dice, you have to find all the combinations of numbers that add up to 4 and five out of all the total combinations.

2 possibilites out of 6 total, so your probability is 2/6 or 1/3.
Your odds, on the other hand are 2 favorable, and 4 unfavorable, so 2:4 or 1:2.

p(4 or 5) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3
odds in favor are 1 to (3 - 1) or 1 to 2
