c.)11 over 9, square root of 5, square root of 11, square root of 20, 2 to the power of 3

In order to compare, try to bring all of them into one similar form, like decimal.
Then, 11/9 = 1.22
Then, we can compare numbers under root, as 5 would be smaller than 11 which in turn is smaller than the 20, then 2^3 is 8, largest in series.

Hope this helps!
