          A banana is to a mile as a banana peel is to a square mile.

          A banana peel is 181.48 sq cm or 7.007 × 10-9 sq miles, so…

          (386.1 (sq miles)) / (7.00736808e-9 (sq miles)/(banana peel)) =

          5.50991464 × 1010 banana peels.

          So 55 billion, give or take.

          Internet tells me a banana is about 200 square centimeters, which confused me so I had to convert that back into measurements I understand.

          Google says 200 square centimeters is about 1 bananas worth.

          So anyways ~200 billion bananas if my napkin math checks out.
