What does it mean when there are two versions of the same gem listed in parentheses in a gem list?

When I execute gem list, I see that there are some gems that have two (or even three) versions listed. For example:

faraday (0.15.2, 0.11.0)

From what I've read, one cannot use two versions of the same gem. If that's the case, what does this mean? How can I tell which version is actually being used?

If you'd like to remove the old unused versions of the gem:

gem cleanup faraday

Leave out the faraday if you'd like to clean up all old versions of all gems, and add --dryrun if you'd like to see which versions are to be deleted, without deleting them.

It shows all the versions that are installed locally. By default the newest one will be used unless bundler (via Gemfile) is configured to use another one.
