How Much Is 14.2 Cups of Mashed Banana in Pounds?
14.2 cups of mashed banana equals 7.04 lb. Mashed banana has a density of 225g per cup (225g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 14.2 cups of all-purpose flour would be 3.92 lb.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 14.2 cups of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 14.2 × 225 = 3,195g
- Convert grams to pounds: 3,195 ÷ 453.592 = 7.04 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?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
