How do you hook up new black white and green wires to 2 old white wires and 2 old black wires?
More information is needed as to what device you are connecting to what power supply. The only two identifiable wires are the white and green. In North America the white colour is used for the circuit's neutral and the green is used for grounding of devices.
I am installing a kitchen light fixture in the ceiling. While pulling down the old fixture the green ground wire broke. The new Fixture has a green ground wire. Where do I ground it to now?
The fixture box should have a ground screw on the bottom of the box. Sometimes you have to move other wires out of the way to see it. Just reconnect the fixture ground wire to this screw.

What color is ground wire in a home?
In a house, the ground wires are green, and in some cases, bare. The other wires in a typical house are black, red, and white. The red and the black wires are both considered "hot" wires, whereas the white wire is the neutral wire. The voltage between the red and black wires is 240 volts in the US, while the voltage between either of those and the white wire is 120 volts. The white wire and the green wire actually are connected together in the panel box. However, you are only allowed to connect the ground conductor and the white together just once in the panel box at the neutral block.

You want to re-wire a 1950's fridge plug the wires are coloured black red and green what means what and where goes where?
red is live so therefore now equivalent to brown black is neutral so therefore now equivalent to blue green is earth so now equivalent to the striped yellow/green all old appliances can be rewired using these colours, make sure you fuse the live wire though as some old appliances are not internally fused like they are these days.

If you have a circular light bulb there is two wires black and red you want to replace them with a standard power cable blue brown and yellowgreen Which goes where What is black and what is red?
the old colours are black and red, they have been replaced by the European harmonisation of brown and blue. the black is now the blue the red is now the brown and the yellow and green is the CPC ( circuit protective conductor) or more commonly known as "earth" but that's a wrong identification of it.
How do you use a PC power supply for a car amp?

Connect to two wires you have to the the spade connectors and forget the ground connector. The spade connector wires should be black and white. Black to gold and white to silver.
