Final answer:
The difference in attendance between the basketball and football games is 5,813, but when rounded to the nearest ten thousand, it becomes 0, indicating that after rounding, there is no difference.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how many more people attended the basketball game than the football game, after rounding to the nearest ten thousand. To find this, first subtract the number of people who attended the football game from the number of people who attended the basketball game.
This gives us 34,123 - 28,310 = 5,813 people. However, since we need to round to the nearest ten thousand, the result becomes 0, because 5,813 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 0. Therefore, after rounding to the nearest ten thousand, no more people attended the basketball game than the football game according to the problem's instructions.
