Answer:

-3,-1/2,13/4,2,6

Explanation:

Negative numbers grow as they get closer to 0 and positive numbers grow as they distance from 0

First classify numbers as positive and negative

Positive numbers : 2,13/4,6 (from least to greatest ) 13/4 is bigger than 2 (3.2 approximately)

Negative numbers : -3,-1/2 (from least to greatest ) -3 is smaller than -1/2 (-1/2=-0.5)

Therefore the correct order would be

-3,-1/2,2,13/4,6
