To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following conversion formula: C = (F – 32) * (5/9), where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius. For 72 degrees Fahrenheit, you would substitute F with 72 in the formula, as follows:
C = (72 – 32) * (5/9)
C = (40) * (5/9)
C = 200/9
C ≈ 22.22°C
Therefore, 72 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately equal to 22.22 degrees Celsius.
