Heat engines take input energy in the form of heat, use some of that energy to do

Question:

Heat engines take input energy in the form of heat, use some of that energy to do work, and exhaust the remainder. Similarly, a person can be viewed as a heat engine that takes an input of internal energy; uses some of it to do work, and gives off the rest as heat. Suppose that a trained athlete can function as a heat engine with an efficiency of 0.11.
(a) What is the magnitude of the internal energy that the athlete uses in order to do 5.1 × 104 J of work?
(b) Determine the magnitude of the heat the athlete gives off.
