Answer: A 6.12341234...

The digits 1234 repeat forever, so this repeating decimal is rational.

--------------

Here's one way to show it is rational

x = 6.123412341234...

10000x = 61234.12341234...

10000x-x = 61234.12341234... - 6.123412341234...

9999x = 61228

x = 61228/9999

61228/9999 = 6.123412341234...
