Convert the fractions to decimals:

2.05,25/10,2.0513,2.059,251/100,2.0515,2.052,2.051
2.05,2.5,2.0513,2.059,2.51,2.0515,2.052,2.051

Next arrange in a column so you can compare the numbers (I prefer largest to smallest!):

2.05000 #8
2.50000 #2
2.05130 #6
2.05900 #3
2.51000 #1
2.05150 #5
2.05200 #4
2.05100 #7

Now just reverse the order!
