Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To round 37,855 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 5. Because 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the thousands place. Therefore, the answer is 38,000. A) 40,000 is too high, B) 30,000 is too low, and D) 37,000 is rounding down instead of rounding to the nearest thousand. Therefore, the best choice is C) 38,000.
