If a man can jump 2.45 meters and a puma can jump 1.9 TIMES higher, we know that we can simply multiply to find the answer. When something says times, that is always multiplication. So:


2.45*1.9= 4.655

4.655 is the highest a puma can jump.

In conclusion, a puma can jump 4.655 meters and a man can jump 1.9 times less than that, or anyway you order it, it still makes sense cause it's multiplication.

Answer: 4.655

Hope this helps, and have a blessed day or night!
