Yes it can:
%283%2B3%28i%29sqrt%287%29%29%2F6
Divide numerator and denominator by 3. Note that you don't change the value of a fraction when you divide numerator and denominator by the same value:
%28%283%2F3%29%2B%283%28i%29sqrt%287%29%29%2F3%29%2F%286%2F3%29
now just simplify each term and you are done:
highlight%28%281%2B%28i%29sqrt%287%29%29%2F2%29

Good Luck,
