Hint: The conversion factor used in Hours to minutes is $60$ and they are time units of measurement used in daily life practices. If we want to find the number of minutes in an hour, we will multiply the value by $60$.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know the conversion factor of hours to minutes is:
$1$ Hours $ = 60$minutes
To find how many minutes in $1.25$ Hours we can multiply each side of the equation by $1.25$ giving:
$1.25 \times 1$ Hours = $60 \times 1.25$ minutes
$1.25$ Hours = $\dfrac{{60 \times 125}}{{100}}$ minutes
 $1.25$ Hours=$75$ minutes
Therefore, there are $75$ minutes in $1.25$ Hours.

Note: Each Hours equals $60$ minutes. So there is one hour and 25 minutes
$60 + 25 = 75$
Thus,$1.25$ Hours equals $75$ minutes.
So you can use both methods for solving this type of question.
