Yes. For example:
a = 10 - pi
b = pi
Both are irrational; the sum a + b is 10.

The real numbers.
Integers are whole numbers. They are the counting numbers, 0 and the corresponding negative numbers. Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (the second one being non-zero). Irrational numbers are numbers that are not rational numbers. Rational and irrational number together form the set of real numbers.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers in the form A/B where B>0. An irrational number is a real number that is not rational.
3.407640764076407640764076(not repeating) is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction. ---- 3.407640764076407640764076 = 3407640764076407640764076/1000000000000000000000000 Which is of the form of one_integer/another_integer so it a rational number. 3.4076... (where the 4076 repeats forever): 3.4076... = 34076/9999 = 34073/9999 Again of the form of one_integer/another_integer so it a rational number. Either way, 3.4076...4076 is a rational number. Decimal numbers that terminate, or go on forever with repeating a sequence of digits are rational. Decimal numbers that go on forever without repeating a sequence of digits are irrational, eg √2.
12.52 is rational, as is any number that you can write out completely in decimal form.
