1/3 would be greater because
1/3 of 12= 4 while
1/4 of 12 = 3
to check your work you would get a calculator (if possible) and divide 3by 12 or 4 by 12 then if you get .33 (divide 3 by 12 like 3/12) its 1/3. if its .25 (divide 4 by 12 like 4/12) its 1/4
The answer is C.
Here's why, nPr = n!/(n-r)!. Plug in 7 for n and 3 for r. And you get 7!/(7-3)!.
Thus, 7!/4! = (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1), which simplifies to 7*6*5 = 210
