Answer:

2.4.1. To calculate how many litres of fuel are needed to travel 400km, we need to use the given fuel consumption rate of 8L/100km:

Fuel consumed for 400km = (8/100) x 400 = 32 litres

Therefore, 32 litres of fuel are needed to travel 400km.

2.4.2. To calculate how far you can travel with 50L of fuel, we can rearrange the formula from part 2.4.1 to solve for distance:

distance = (fuel consumed / fuel consumption rate) x 100

Plugging in the values we have:

distance = (50 / 8) x 100 = 625 km

Therefore, with 50 litres of fuel, you can travel 625 km.
