3.25 - 1.80 = 1.45 = 1 45/100 = 1 9/20

3 1/4 - 1 4/5
(3 - 1) - (1/4 - 4/5)
2 - (5/20 - 16/20)
2 - (11/20)
2 - 11/20
40/20 - 11/20 = 29/20

Well you know an hour is 60 minutes, so that takes care of the 1.
For 9/20, set up a proportion:
9/20 = x/60
cross multiply:
20x = 540
x = 540/20
x = 54/2
x = 27 minutes
So 1 hour and 27 minutes
or
60 + 27 = 87 minutes
