: I'm not sure what category this word problem would fall into but I picked this one because it the safest. Please help me this word problem? Comparing wind chills. Use the formula from Exercise 109 to determine who will feel colder: a person in Minneapolis at 10ºF with a 15-mph wind or a person in Chicago at 20ºF with a 25-mph wind.
The formula used in Exercise 109 was W= 91.4 -(10.5 + 6.7√v-0.45v)(457-5t)/110

determine who will feel colder: a person in Minneapolis at 10ºF with a 15-mph wind or a person in Chicago at 20ºF with a 25-mph wind.
The formula used in Exercise 109 was

:
Minneapolis: T =10; v = 15

:

then

:

:
w = 91.4 - 109.89
:
w = -18.49 wind chill for Minneapolis
:
:
Following the same procedure with Chicago: v=25 t=20,
I got:
w = -14.9
:
Looks like it's a little worse in Minneapolis
