152 pounds is 68.94604024 kg. The exact arithmetic is 152 × 0.45359237 = 68.94604024 kilograms, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 68.946 kg, BMI works out to 26.9 at 1.60 m, 23.9 at 1.70 m, 21.3 at 1.80 m and 19.1 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 1.054 kg short of 70 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 70 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 0.45359237. At 152 that shortcut gives 69.090909 kilograms, off by 0.1449 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
