You plan to take a 1665 mile trip in your car, which average 30 miles per gallon. How many gallons of gas should you expect to use?

To calculate how many gallons of gas you'll need for your trip, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Gallons of Gas} = \frac{\text{Total Miles}}{\text{Miles per Gallon}}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Gallons of Gas} = \frac{1665 \text{ miles}}{30 \text{ miles per gallon}} = 55.5 \text{ gallons}
\]

You should expect to use **55.5 gallons** of gas for your trip.
