Question 256563: I am having trouble with a problem.
W=91.4-(10.5+6.7\/v -0.45v)(457-5t)
110
W = wind chill
v+wind velocity
t=air temp
Using the formula above.
Who will feel colder: a person in Minneapolis at 10F with a 15 mph wind or a person in Chicago at 20F with a 25mph wind?

I am having trouble understanding your formula.
What is \/v?
What is the 110 doing there?
What does "v+wind velocity" mean?
According the the wikipedia article on windchill
10F 15 mph wind is -7 that is 7 below
20 25 mph wind is 3 above
The article also points out that time out , wetness and other factors contribute to "coldness"
