To convert 1230 to a decimal using long division, we divide 1230 by 10:
```
________
10 | 1230
```
First, we divide 10 into 12, which gives us 1. We write this above the line:
```
________
10 | 1230
- 10
---------
2
```
Next, we bring down the next digit, which is 3, and divide 10 into 23. This gives us 2.
```
________
10 | 1230
- 10
---------
20
- 20
---------
3
```
Finally, we bring down the last digit, which is 0, and divide 10 into 30. This gives us 3.
```
________
10 | 1230
- 10
---------
20
- 20
---------
30
- 30
---------
0
```
Since there is no remainder and no more digits to bring down, the division is complete. Therefore, 1230 converted to a decimal is 123.0.

To convert 0.80 to a fraction, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the decimal as a fraction by placing the decimal number over 1 followed by the appropriate number of zeros.
0.80 = 0.80/1
Step 2: Remove the decimal by multiplying the numerator and denominator by a power of 10 that will eliminate the decimal.
0.80/1 = 80/100
Step 3: Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 80 and 100 is 20.
80/100 รท 20/20 = 4/5
Therefore, 0.80 is equal to 4/5 in simplest form.
