Marble is formed through the metamorphism of limestone.
The fact that marble gleams white and reflects object, informs us that it has gone through the metamorphic stage, withstanding heat, water, wind, ice, etc.
Through this change, limestone has become a smooth, glossy, fire resistant, and weather resistant marble.

By the metamorphosis of limestone, marble is formed. By the thermal decomposition of limestone, quicklime is formed. Which process depends on the temperature and pressure.
Can sandstone turn in to marble?
No. Limestone turns into marble, not sandstone.
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.
