How Much Is 9 Teaspoons of Mashed Banana in Ounces?
9 teaspoons of mashed banana weighs 1.49 oz. This is based on mashed banana having a density of 225g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 9 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9 teaspoons of mashed banana
- 1 teaspoon of mashed banana = 4.69g
- 9 × 4.69 = 42.19g
- Convert grams to ounces: 42.19 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.49 oz
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.
