Final answer:

The question lacks the essential numerical relationships needed to assign values to the relationships between white, orange, and purple chips. To answer such a question, specific ratios or further information would be necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be mixing up a couple of concepts, so there is a possibility of a typo or misunderstanding in the question as it does not correlate with the provided information about jelly beans, cards, and marbles.

However, ignoring the additional information that is not relevant, and focusing purely on the chips, the question appears to be asking to establish a ratio between white chips, orange chips, and purple chips. Without specific values giving the relations between these chips, no definitive answer can be provided. Typically, in problems like these, once one relationship is known (for example, if it were specified that 1 orange chip is worth 5 white chips), the others can be deduced arithmetically if additional information is supplied to establish the relative worth of purple chips to orange or white chips.

Since the essential information to assign values is missing, we can only say that these are proportional relationships. To solve such a problem, we would need either a clear numerical relationship given or a set of equations that could be solved to find the relationships between the chips.
