The short answer: 195 centimeters comes to 6 ft 4.8 in. That is 195 multiplied by 0.03280839895, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 195 cm — 1.95 m — a BMI of 18.5 to 25, the band the WHO calls healthy, runs from 70.3 to 95.1 kg (155 to 210 lb). BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared, so those figures come straight from the height on this page rather than from a chart.
