No. It's the ratio of 1,289 to 100 .

Also, it can be written as a fraction with whole numbers
on top and bottom, like this: 1289 / 100 .

Also, it can be written down on paper completely, using
digits and a decimal point or fraction bar. (You did that.)

Any one of these three facts makes it a rational number.
