The time for the third unit in a job with a 70 percent learning curve can be calculated using the formula T_n = T_1 * n^(log(b)/log(2)), where T_n is the time required for the nth unit, T_1 is the time required for the first unit, n is the unit number, and b is the learning curve percentage in decimal form. For the third unit (n=3) with a 70% learning curve (b=0.7) and a first unit time of 20 hours, the calculation is approximately 11.4 hours.
