Given that efficiency is defined as e = (what youget)/(what you had to pay), how might one define the concept of'inefficiency?" Show answer in terms of a mathematical relationshipto relate the definition of inefficiency, using the letter"i', to the definition of efficiency e.

Definitions of the efficiency vary depending on how energy is being converted. Compare the definitions of efficiency for the human body and heat engines. How does the definition of efficiency in each relate to the type of energy being converted into doing walk?
