Answer I will not tell the answer, but i can help you solve it.
Explanation:
Add up the total number of paperclips. 14+8+12+16. the total is 50. the amount of purple paperclips is 14, so the teacher has a 14/50 chance of picking a purple paperclip. simplify the fraction to get 7/25. then subtract 7/25 from 25/25, which is equal to 50/50, which is the total number of paperclips. so there is a 7/25 chance to pick purple, and 18/25 chance to pick a color that is not purple.
