The learning curve formula is: Tn = T1 * n^b, where Tn is the time to complete the nth unit, T1 is the time to complete the first unit, n is the unit number, and b is the learning curve percentage. In this case, T1 = 10 hours, n = 3, and b = 0.7. So, T3 = 10 * 3^0.7 = 5.7 hours (rounded to one decimal place).
