Verified Answer :

First set up the equation:
\(C=(F-32)\times\frac{5}{9}\)
Then substitute in known values:
\(C=(72-32)\times\frac{5}{9}\)
and solve for C
\(C=40\times\frac{5}{9}\)
\(C=22.22\)

Neuron

If you would like to convert 72°F to °C using one of the following formulas, you can do this using the following steps:

C = (F - 32) 5/9
C = (72 - 32)
5/9
C = 40 * 5/9 
C = 22.2°C

The correct result would be 22.2°C.
