Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion

Write a function fahrenheit_to_celsius(degrees) that takes a temperature in Fahrenheit as a parameter and returns the temperature in Celsius. The function should follow the conversion formula C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9, where C is the temperature in Celsius and F is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

def fahrenheit_to_celsius(degrees):
  return ((degrees - 32) * 5 / 9)

fahrenheit_to_celsius(77) ## 25.0

Summary
