You may want to try alchemist, a ruby library for converting between lots of different units. I haven't used it myself, I've only heard about it on rubyinside.

You can try bringing in enough of the various Rails gems to support it (starting with ActionPack and continuing with ActiveSupport), but you're definitely going to have to bring in quite a lot - it eventually needs to have a locale system initialized with locale files for translation.

dvyjones suggestion will be much quicker if you don't need that localization.

I think this method should work. I haven't tested it though, and it doesn't accept any options other than the number.

Decide whether or not you care about all the internationalization support the method implements and then copy and paste the rest.
