ruby on rails replace single-quotes with double-quote in a string

I am trying to replace a single-quote with double quotes inside a string, as following:

current_res = 25
lowest_res = 15
str = "The result of the child is '#{current_res}' and the lowest grade is '#{lowest_res }'."

I need the output to look like:

str = The result of the child is "25" and the lowest grade is "15".

I tried different method using gsub but nothing work so far. Any ideas?

If that's the only case you're covering where you need to show some output in double quoted string then. How about something simple like following

str = "The result of the child is \"#{current_res}\" and the lowest grade is \"#{lowest_res }\" ."

You can escape quotes in double quoted strings.
