To add or subtract rational numbers (fractions and decimals), first find a common denominator by identifying the least common multiple of all denominators, then convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator before performing the addition or subtraction operation. For example, when adding 4/5 and 7/8, the least common denominator is 40, so 4/5 becomes 32/40 and 7/8 becomes 35/40, resulting in 32/40 - 35/40 = -3/40.
