Efficiency is the ratio of output work to input work, expressed as a percentage. Light bulbs put out less light energy than the
amount of electrical energy that is put into the bulb. An illustration of a wide arrow with a light bulb at the tail of it labeled electrical energy 100 J, breaks into a small arrow going forward labeled light 10 J and a larger curling away labeled heat 90 J. The goal of the bulb is to produce light. What is the efficiency of this bulb as it works to put out light? 10% 80% 90% 100%
First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.
