Converting 271 pounds of mashed banana to cups gives 546.33 cups. First convert to grams (271 lb = 122,923.53g), then divide by the density of mashed banana (225g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 271 pounds of mashed banana
- Convert pounds to grams: 271 × 453.59 = 122,923.53g
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 122,923.53g ÷ 225g/cup = 546.33 cups
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 Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
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.
