Hate to throw you a curve without an answer, however an ant can lift 50 times it weight not 10. You also need to know how much an ant weights. Rough estimate is that it would take about 10 ants to carry an ounce of cheese. 16 ounces to a pound. The women would then convert to 125 * 16 = 2016. Divide that by 10 ant and you will get your answer 201.6.
Bear in mind that I am guessing that it would take 10 ants to carry that ounce of cheese.

I don't know if you're just asking out of curiousity or if this is a homework question. At first, I figured you would just divide 125 by 10 which results in 12.5 ants BUT consider this: if you can lift 50 pounds and your friend can lift 50 pounds the two of you working together will be able to lift more than 100 pounds.

does the 125 lb female have to be whole? can the ants carry her away bit by bit. is so then one could probably do it.

The highest number in history: SEXTILLIONS
(there are no higher # categories than that, and since I've no time to actually come up w/a number, I'll just give it this highest group oh #'s..
