If 3/4 are full-time women employed, that means 1/4 are NOT full-time
And considering that over all the women are 1/2 and we are looking for those full-time we do have 1/4 of 1/2 =1/8
A si the answer

If \(\frac{3}{4}\) of women are employed full-time then \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the women are not employed full-time. Since we are asked what portion of the class consists of women that are not employed full time, and \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the class consist of women, \(\frac{1}{2}\) of \(\frac{1}{4}\), that is \(\frac{1}{8}\) of women are not full-time employed.
The correct answer is Choice A.
