Answer: 38,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A baseball stadium has 38,496 seats.
We can see that in the given number 8,486 is near to 8000 rather than 9000 [∵ 8,486 lies in between 8000 and 9000 ]
Therefore, when we round 38,496 to the nearest thousand, we get
[tex]38,496\approx38,000[/tex]
Therefore, when we round the given number of seats (38,496) ,we get total number of seats as 38,000.
hence, the required answer is 38,000.
