There is not "the" rational number since there are infinitely many.
A rational number between the two given numbers is the mean [average] of the two:
0.5*(4/9 + 11/12) = 0.5*(16/36 + 33/36) = 0.5*49/36 = 49/72

There cannot be any rational"between" the same number.
It is: 119.5 which is a rational number
Yes, 3.4 is a rational number between 3 and 4: 3.4 is between 3 and 4, and 3.4 = 34/10 = 17/5 which is a rational number. The rational number midway between 3 and 4 is 3.5
The average of the two will be rational and it will be between them.
That is the property of infinite density of rational numbers. If x and y are any two rational numbers then w = (x + y)/2 is a rational number between them. And then there is a rational number between x and w. This process can be continued without end.
