The temperature change in Fahrenheit is 75°F - 35°F = 40°F. To convert this change to Celsius, we use the formula: (F - 32) × 5/9. However, since this is a difference in temperature, we can directly convert using 5/9 (the subtraction of 32 is not needed for differences). Thus, 40°F × 5/9 = 22.22°C, which rounds to 22°C.
