BUZZZ! I'm sorry, but your answer is incorrect. But thank you for playing. We have some lovely parting gifts on your way out.
\left(\frac{12}{12}\right) = \frac{8}{9})
But 
is rational because 8 and 9 are both integers. Since a number cannot be both rational and irrational at the same time, and and 
are demonstrably the same number, must be rational.
