To find the efficiency of the ramp, you can use the formula for efficiency:

\[ \text{Efficiency} = \left( \frac{\text{Useful Work Output}}{\text{Total Energy Input}} \right) \times 100% \]

In this case, the useful work output is 1,200 joules and the total energy input is 2,000 joules. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Efficiency} = \left( \frac{1,200 \text{ joules}}{2,000 \text{ joules}} \right) \times 100% \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Efficiency} = \left( 0.6 \right) \times 100% = 60% \]

Therefore, the efficiency of the ramp is 60%.
