Converting 91 pounds gives 41.27690567 kg. One multiplication does it — 91 × 0.45359237 = 41.27690567 kilograms — and because the factor is defined rather than measured, that answer will not drift over time.
At 41.2769 kg, BMI works out to 16.1 at 1.60 m, 14.3 at 1.70 m, 12.7 at 1.80 m and 11.4 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 1.277 kg past 40 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 40 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 91 that shortcut gives 41.363636 kilograms, off by 0.08673 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
