• So, 1 hour and 50 minutes is 110 minutes in total.

• 1 3/4 can be written in minutes by the following calculations,

       $(1 * 60) + (\frac{3}{4} * 60) = 105$

• So, 1 3/4 hour is 105 minutes in total.
• The difference is calculated as,

        $110 - 105 = 5$

Therefore, the difference is 5 minutes.
