For any given subset, yes, because there are an infinite number of Irrational Numbers for each rational number. But for the set of ALL real numbers, both are infinite in number, even though the vast majority of real numbers would be irrational.

In between any two rational numbers there is an irrational number. In between any two irrational numbers there is a rational number.
Infinitely many. In fact, there are more irrational numbers between them than there are rational numbers.Infinitely many.

Yes. The infinity of rational numbers has the same size as the natural numbers, said to be "countable". The infinity of real numbers (and therefore, also of irrational numbers) is a larger infinity, said to be "uncountable".

There are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. The rationals are countably infinite; the irrationals are uncountably infinite. Uncountably infinite means that the set of irrational numbers has a cardinality known as the "cardinality of the continuum," which is strictly greater than the cardinality of the set of natural numbers which is countably infinite. The set of rational numbers has the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers, so there are more irrationals than rationals.
