Answer:

3,000

Explanation:

The answer is 3,000 because:

1) The number in the hundreds place is 1, which is less than 5. Therefore, the number in the thousands place stays the same.

2) Whenever you are rounding with decimals, you have to leave the numbers after the decimal point.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

3000

Explanation:

Rounding to the nearest thousand implies not writing any significant figure after the digit located in the column of the thousand. In this case, what you have in that column is the number 3 (which is followed by a 1 in the column of the hundreds) so you need to round the number to 3000.

If the number that followed the 3 was 5 or larger, you would have rounded it to 4000.
