Solving the Fractional Knapsack Problem - Wave and Thinking

[evinda]

Hello! (Wave)

I found the following algorithm for the fractional knapsack problem.

Why at the case else, we do not change the variable w to w+(W-w)/S.weight? (Thinking)

Why at the case else, we do not change the variable w to w+(W-w)/S.weight?

That would be adding a dimensionless number to pounds.
