The scale is correct and included in the map key, labels show how many restaurants are in each state (not how many squares are colored
in each state).

Some of you will be able to do a scale that is simple and requires no math. For example, 1 sq= 1 restaurant. If you have numbers that are high (for example 250!) you cannot do a
simple scale. You need to divide it so that your states or countries are not so huge. Try to
keep shapes to 150 squares or less.
