$-sqrt36" "-sqrt16" "-3.3" "sqrt(7/2)" "-sqrt6$

The numbers are impossible to compare as they are because they are all in different forms.

Convert them all to decimals first.

$" "sqrt(7/2)" "sqrt11" "-sqrt16" "-3.3" "-sqrt36$
$=1.8708" "=3.3166" "= -4" "= -3.3" "= -6$

Now arrange them in order from smallest to biggest:

$-6" "-4" "-3.3" "1.8708" "3.3166$

Give the answers in their original form:

$-sqrt36" "-sqrt16" "-3.3" "sqrt(7/2)" "-sqrt6$
