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?
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}.
To find the number of contestants in the first round, we divide the total number of correctly spelled words by the number of words each contestant spelled correctly.
Total number of correctly spelled words: 1,036
Number of words each contestant spelled correctly: 37
So, the number of contestants in the first round can be calculated as:
1036 ÷ 37 = 28
Therefore, there were 28 contestants in the first round.
To find the number of contestants in the first round, you need to divide the total number of correctly spelled words by the number of words each contestant spelled correctly.
Given that each contestant spelled 37 words correctly and a total of 1,036 words were spelled correctly, you can divide 1,036 by 37:
1036 / 37 = 28
Therefore, there were 28 contestants in the first round.
