    Looks like you are looking for ordinalize:

    The Ruby on Rails framework is chock full of interesting little nuggets. Ordinalize is a number extension that returns the corresponding ordinal number as a string. For instance, 1.ordinalize returns “1st” and 22.ordinalize return “22nd”.

    Example:

    place = 3
    puts "You are currently in #{place.ordinalize} place."

    Result:

    You are currently in 3rd place.
