How Much Is 0.02 Cups of Mashed Banana in Ounces?
0.02 cups of mashed banana weighs 0.16 oz. This is based on mashed banana having a density of 225g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.02 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.02 cups of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 0.02 × 225 = 4.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 4.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.16 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ripeness affects density. Riper fruit mashes more smoothly and packs more densely per cup than firmer fruit. Weigh for the most consistent results.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
