    First you have to determine how many ways are there to make a 7.

    They are: 1 & 6, 6 & 1, 2 & 5, 5 & 2, 3 & 4, 4 & 3. The fist number is for the red dice and the second number is for the green dice.

    Now take the total number of ways a seven can be made and divide it by 36 total possible outcomes to get your answer.
