You can use the be_close method to account for this approximation issue. Just pass it the value and how close you want the comparison to be.
Something like this should work for you:
contract.settlement_percent.to_f.should be_close(0.011, 0.0001)

Base-10 floating point values are always approximated since they're encoded in binary. You shouldn't expect values to be that precise.
