Nadia entered a spelling contest. In the first round, a total of 1,036 words were spelled correctly. Each contestant spelled 37 words correctly. How many contestants were in the first round?

Answer 1

To find the number of contestants in the first round, we need to divide the total number of words spelled correctly (1,036) by the number of words each contestant spelled correctly (37).

1036 ÷ 37 = 28.

Therefore, there were 28 contestants in the first round. Answer: \boxed{28}.
