Hashing floats is not that trivial. A common problem are rounding errors. Do 
you want/need identical hash for i.e. (3.0 + 4.0) and (7.0)? If yes, then it 
may be necessary to mask the less significant bits before applying the hash 
function. So, before choosing a concrete optimal hash function, it may be 
necessary to consider the range of your numbers. In the simplest case, it may 
be enough to do some plain mathematical operation on your numbers before 
hashing to get what you want, maybe just adding always the same constant.

and of course, for more information you may ask google, i.e.
