Wind chill is a combination of temperature and wind speed that expresses how cold the air feels. The larger the wind speed, the more rapidly heat is lost to the air and thus the colder it feels. The table shows the wind chill for selected temperatures and wind speeds. At and a wind speed of 10 mph, how much change in wind chill can be expected if the wind speed increases by 10 mph?

At a temperature of 11°F and wind speed of 10 mph, the wind chill is -4°F (from the table provided).
If the wind speed increases by 10 mph, the wind chill will decrease by 14°F (also from the table provided).
Therefore, the new wind chill would be -18°F (subtract 14 from -4).
So, the change in wind chill would be -14°F (subtract -18 from -4).
