Answer: 11:15am

Explanation:

Since it It takes 5 minutes to get to the airport, and Carter wants to be at the airport 2 hours and 45 minutes before his flight leaves. This means he will use about (2 hours 45 minutes + 5 minutes) = 2 hours 50 minutes before his flight leaves.

We would then subtract 2 hours 50 minutes from the time that his flight leaves. This will be:

= 2:05pm - 2hours 50 minutes

= 11:15am.

He will have to leave latest 11:15am
