Perhaps you should have checked the class documentation for BigDecimal 
(part of the Ruby standard library).  If I remember correctly, 
BigDecimal#to_f will do what you want.

to_f is the standard name for such methods; to_fl is idiosyncratic, and 
will cause problems if the consumers of your API expect to_f.

Best,
