Subject: Simple Math Problem

Can anyone shed some light on a simple math problem I have encountered? 
I am doing a very simple calculation, and the comparison of that result 
compared to the number itself is returning false in some cases...for 
instance:

$irb
>> v1 = 80.04
=> 80.04

>> v2 = 0.12 * 667
=> 80.04

>> v1 == v2
=> false

>> v1 > v2
=> true

>> v1 < v2
=> false

>> v1.inspect
=> "80.04"

>> v2.inspect
=> "80.04"

Any insight?

Thanks,
Thom
