How Much Is 0.16 Cups of Mashed Banana in Pounds?
0.16 cups of mashed banana weighs 0.08 lb. This is based on mashed banana having a density of 225g per cup. Because cups measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.16 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.16 cups of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 0.16 × 225 = 36g
- Convert grams to pounds: 36 ÷ 453.592 = 0.08 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

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 a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
