Get word duration from time in seconds
Extend Numeric so that you can invoke the method on any numeric class (Fixnum, Bignum, or in your case Float).
class Numeric
def duration
secs = self.to_int
mins = secs / 60
hours = mins / 60
days = hours / 24
if days > 0
"#{days} days and #{hours % 24} hours"
elsif hours > 0
"#{hours} hours and #{mins % 60} minutes"
elsif mins > 0
"#{mins} minutes and #{secs % 60} seconds"
elsif secs >= 0
"#{secs} seconds"
end
end
end
