Let FOPT(I) be the optimal solution of the fractional LP for instance I, and OPT(I) the optimal solution of the integral LP. Let AVG be the sum of all sizes divided by ''B'' (this would be the number of bins if we could cut items).
 
It is obvious that AVG(I) ≤ FOPT(I) ≤ OPT(I): AVG(I) is the number of bins when all bins are completely full - no solution can be better than this. FOPT(I) is the solution to the LP, which is less constrained than the ILP, so it is at least as good as OPT(I).
