To find the number of purple chips that Jason has, we need to determine the value of the ratio 7 green chips : 4 purple chips.
If we set up a proportion with the given information, we can solve for the number of purple chips.
We have: 7 green chips : 4 purple chips = 14 green chips : x purple chips
Cross multiplying, we get: 7x = 14 * 4
Simplifying, we have: 7x = 56
Dividing both sides by 7, we find: x = 8
Therefore, Jason has 8 purple chips.
The correct answer is A: 8 purple chips.
