The short answer: 94 pounds comes to 42.63768278 kg. That is 94 multiplied by 0.45359237, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 42.6377 kg, BMI works out to 16.7 at 1.60 m, 14.8 at 1.70 m, 13.2 at 1.80 m and 11.8 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 2.362 kg short of 45 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 45 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 94 that shortcut gives 42.727273 kilograms, off by 0.08959 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
