No, actually 2/5 is equal to .4 which is perfectly rational. Irrational Numbers have an infinitely long decimal expansion. This is just one digit.
Any rational number divided by any other rational number gives another rational number. Having an infinitely long decimal expansion is a necessary but not sufficient criterion for irrationality... for example, 1/3 is rational, though its decimal expansion is the infinitely long 0.33333333...

No, 2/5 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a fraction.
What is an irrational number between 5 and 7?
4*sqrt(2) Rational multiples of irrational numbers are irrational. sqrt(2) is about 1.414, and 5/4 = 1.25 < 1.414... < 1.75 = 7/4 so 4*sqrt(2) is between 5 and 7, and is irrational.
Is 3 times the square root of 2 divided by 5 times the square root of 2 an irrational number why or why not?
I would answer no because 3√2 ____ 5√2 Would simplify to 3 divided by 5 and that is not irrational.
How can be the product of 2 irrational numbers a rational numbers 5?
5*sqrt(2) is one irrational number. 1/sqrt(2) is another irrational number.Their product is 5!5*sqrt(2) is one irrational number. 1/sqrt(2) is another irrational number.Their product is 5!5*sqrt(2) is one irrational number. 1/sqrt(2) is another irrational number.Their product is 5!5*sqrt(2) is one irrational number. 1/sqrt(2) is another irrational number.Their product is 5!
