Answer: 6.4 hours

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Vik wrote the equation 470h = 3,008, where,

h = number of hours used by the plane.

To solve for h, goes thus:

470h = 3008

Divide both side by 470

470h/470 = 3008/470

h = 6.4 hours

Therefore, 6.4 hours was used by the plane.
