There are two problems with the code,

1- as Perderabo pointed out you need a numerical sort,
2- you need to decide how many significant integers you need after the decimal point. This will be decisive for your output, see below:

Code:
awk  '{printf "%s/%s = %3.6f\n", $11, $5, $11/$5}' file | sort -r -k3n | more

9.742084/395690 = 0.000025
0.000090/3 = 0.000030
0.000210/6 = 0.000035
1.123312/30534 = 0.000037
0.000075/2 = 0.000037
0.000074/2 = 0.000037
0.000943/25 = 0.000038
0.002482/60 = 0.000041

awk  '{printf "%s/%s = %3.3f\n", $11, $5, $11/$5}'  file | sort -r -k3n | more

9.742084/395690 = 0.000
9.510659/75186 = 0.000
9.194549/39095 = 0.000
8.146552/39095 = 0.000
8.008833/16050 = 0.000
735.600018/1760004 = 0.000

Otherwise the code works fine ( tested ).
