Weight of the women in pounds = 125 lb
1 kg is heavier than 1 pound and 1 Kilogram is same as 2.20462 pounds.
So 125 lb gives 125 / 2.20462 kilo grams = 56.699 kg and the value is less than 125.

The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
1lb = 0.45 Kg
We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
1lb ---> 0.45Kg
125lb ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
Answer
her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.
