says it's not assigning the proper value to celsius

set { celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 }

Temperature.swift 
class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
        get {
            return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
            }
        set {
            celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8
        }
    }    
}

In your setter, the default argument name is newValue. So you can either use that:

set {
    celsius = (newValue - 32) / 1.8
}

Or specify the argument name:

set(fahrenheit) {
    celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8
}
