First round the numbers to the nearest ten thousand, which is easier to deal with than when you round to the nearest 1000
Now you have 28,000 and 14,000. Next, you have to subtract the two numbers to find out how many more men finished the race than women. 28,000-14,000=14,000, so 14,000 more men finished the race than women.

Answer:
14,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that in 2010, 28,357 of the finishers were men, and 14,072 of the finishers were women.
First of all, we will round both numbers. We can see that both numbers are ten-thousands. The thousands digit in 28,357 is greater, so it will round to 30,000.
The thousands digit in 14,072 is less than 5, so it will round down to 10,000.
The difference will be too far from the actual difference, so we will round both numbers to nearest thousands as:
[tex]28,357\approx 28,000[/tex]
[tex]14,072\approx 14,000[/tex]
Now, we will subtract number of women finishers from number of men finishers as:
[tex]28,000-14,000=14,000[/tex]
Therefore, 14,000 more men finished the race than women.
