Answer: 2:45 pm

Explanation:

Find the length of the tour;

90 minutes at Empire State

180 minutes in Central Park

45 minutes in Times Square

= 90 + 180 + 45

= 315 minutes

= 5.25 hours

= 5 hours 15 minutes

Dinner Reservation is at 8.

Latest time they can start is;

= 8 - 5.25 hours

= 2.75

= 2 hours 45 minutes

= 2:45 pm
