To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place. In the number 3,489, the hundreds digit is 4 and the tens digit is 8. According to rounding rules, if the digit in the hundreds place is less than 5, we round down; if it is 5 or higher, we round up.
In this case, the digit after the hundreds place is 8 (which is in the tens place), which is more than 5 so we will round up. Therefore, 3,489 rounded to the nearest thousand is 4,000.
