The data table below shows the wind chill temperature (how cold the air feels) at different wind speeds and air temperatures. Wind speed is shown in miles per hour (mph). Air temperature and wind chill temperature are shown in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Which conditions would produce a wind chill of –24°F?

• wind speed 20 mph; air temperature 0°F

• wind speed 35 mph; air temperature 20°F

• wind speed 20 mph; air temperature 35°F

• wind speed 25 mph; air temperature 0°F
