Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.
