Fractional knapsack problem
The Fractional Knapsack Problem is a classic optimization challenge where you need to maximize the value of items you can carry in a knapsack with limited capacity. Unlike the 0/1 knapsack, where you can only take whole items, in the fractional version, you can take fractions of items. Each item has a weight and a value, and the goal is to select portions of items based on their value-to-weight ratio to fill the knapsack as much as possible. This approach helps in situations like budgeting resources effectively or optimizing storage space.
