Answer: 38,000
How? For rounding 38,496 to the nearest thousand we need to check its hundreds place.If it is bigger than 5 or is 5 then the number next to it will be increased by 1 and if the number at the hundreds place is below 5 then the number itself and the number behind it will be changed to zero (no change will be added to its next number).
Hope this helps =)
Have a nice day!
