There are 9 green cards and 4 other cards that have an 8 or a 9 on them. Hence, there are 13 ways out of 27 that you can be successful drawing green or >7.

By the way, quit trying to game the system by making your posts larger with blank lines. All you do is waste space, make it more difficult for tutors to see other people's questions, and annoy us so that we are less likely to help you.
