Answer:

37,000

Explanations:

When converting to the nearest thousand, we want to enure the given value ends with three zeros.

Given the value of 36,500, you can see that there are 2 zeros at the end of the given value. This shows that to convert to the nearest. thousand, we need to convert the value of 5 to zero.

Since 5 is more than 4, therefore, we will add 1 to the preceding number (value of 6) to have:

36,500 ≈ 37,000 (to nearest thousand)
