Algorithm Puzzle- Number of gas stations in Texas?
I came across an interesting question. 

How many number of gas stations are present in state of Texas? 

Obviously, the asker was more interested to know the logical approach to arrive at a number.

One approach,  I can think of is:

1) Consider an area of 1 mile radius as a unit.

2) X = Find/Guess no. of gas stations in 1 unit

3) Y = Find/Guess the number of units for area of Texas


X * Y = Would be the estimated answer.


Is there any other approach to solve this puzzle?
