The correct answer to this is that:

Any irrational number when added to 2 / 5 still produces an irrational number.

For example, if we use π to add to 2/5 or 0.4. As far as we know the decimal digits for π just go on forever and do not have a repeating cycle hence making it an irrational number. Adding a rational number such as 0.4 to the value of π does not really greatly change the value of π. The decimal digits (hundredths place and so on) of the resulting number will still go on forever without a continual repeat.

So 0.4 + π is still irrational.
