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

1 answer

To find the number of contestants in the first round, we divide the total number of correctly spelled words by the number of correctly spelled words by each contestant: 1,036 words / 37 words/contestant = <<1036/37=28>>28 contestants. Answer: \boxed{28}.
