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 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}.
