To order the given fractions and whole numbers from smallest to largest, let's first convert everything to a common format.

We have:

  • \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \)
  • 16 = 16.0
  • 26 = 26.0
  • 56 = 56.0

Now we can list all values:

  1. \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \)
  2. 16 = 16.0
  3. 26 = 26.0
  4. 56 = 56.0

Now, putting these in order from smallest to largest:

  1. \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \)
  2. 16
  3. 26
  4. 56

Thus, the correct order from smallest to largest is:

\( \frac{3}{6} \), 16, 26, 56.

If considering the options mentioned, the order doesn't seem to match any of them exactly, but the numeric order from the listed numbers is clearly \( \frac{3}{6} < 16 < 26 < 56 \).
