A story problem is a math problem written out in the form of a story. Instead of just writing the numbers, a story has the numbers hidden among the words.

here is an example:

3 little pigs went to the straw house. they were eating 4 apples. then each pig took and apple and there was one left.

how can they split the apple equally?

The math problem here is 1 apple divided by 3 pigs, or 1/3 = ?
