Yes,  the addition of rational numbers is commutative. This means that for any two rational numbers - a and b, the sum is the same regardless of the order in which they are added. $$
a + b = b+ a 
$$ 

Example- Consider the rational numbers 1/2 and 1/3.

  • Adding 1/2 and 1/3: $$
    \frac {1}{2} + \frac {1}{3} = \frac {3}{6} + \frac {2}{6} = \frac {5}{6}. 
    $$ 
  • Reversing the order :$$
    \frac {1}{3} + \frac {1}{2} = \frac {2}{6} + \frac {3}{6} = \frac {5}{6}.
