Explanation:

Story problems can be solved once they are converted to number sentences or equations.

Yes, this is true.

For example: Lets convert a problem in equation.

Suppose Ralph has 17 marbles and he divided the marbles equally among his 4 friends. So, how many marbles are left with Ralph.

Now, we can solve this by converting the problem in numerals.

Number of marbles Ralph has = 17
