efficiency can be defined as the ratio of
ef·fi·cien·cy [i físh'nsee] (plural ef·fi·cien·cies) noun 1. competence: the ability to do something well or achieve a desired result without wasted energy or effort 2. productive use of resources: the degree to which something is done well or without wasted energy 3. measure of machine's energy effectiveness: the ratio of the amount of energy used by a machine to the amount of work done by it. For example, the measurement of the amount of heat produced per unit of fuel when all of a fuel has been burned is a measure of a heating unit's efficiency. 4. domestic Same as efficiency apartment
General formula for calculating efficiency is given by Efficiency = (output / input) * 100 It is denoted by greek letter Eta\[(\eta )\] Efficiency cannot be more than 100%.
So now what do u think about ratio?
btw @goformit100 has given already a good knowledge about it:)
out put energy /input energy \[\eta=\frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}\]
Efficiency is always given as percentage. So, we have to multiply with 100 also in the ratio of output and input.
