We consider the problem of decomposing some family of $t$-subsets, or $t$-uniform hypergraph $G$, into copies of another, say $H$, with nonnegative rational weights. For fixed $H$ on $k$ vertices, we show that this is always possible for all $G$ having sufficiently many vertices and density at least $1-C(t)k^{-2t}$. In particular, for the case $t=2$, all large graphs with density at least $1-2k^{-4}$ admit a rational decomposition into cliques $K_k$. The proof relies on estimates of certain eigenvalues in the Johnson scheme. The concluding section discusses some applications to design theory and statistics, as well as some relevant open problems.
