Problem

Wind chill is a measure of how cold people feel when exposed to wind outside. A good estimate for wind chill can be found using this calculation: wind chill=air temperature0.7×wind speed\text{wind chill} = \text{air temperature} - 0.7 \times \text{wind speed}, where temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit (F^{\circ}\text{F}) and the wind speed is measured in miles per hour (mph). Suppose the air temperature is 36F36^{\circ}\text{F} and the wind speed is 1818 mph. Which of the following is closest to the approximate wind chill?
