How much ice are you talking about? What is the temperature of the water? Are we supposed to guess? If so: 3 minutes!
-
I think that really depends on the temperature of the water... and the size and shape of the ice might make a difference...

The quantity of the ice makes a huge difference, an ice cube will melt faster than a block of ice, a block of ice will melt faster than a huge snow bank. The larger the quantity of ice, the longer it will take because the internal temperature will continually cool the exterior slowing down how fast it melts. This is why you see some huge snow piles from Plow Trucks that last well into the warmer weather.

It depends on vrious factors. Firstly, size of the ice. If it is refrigrated cube it may take about 10-15 minute in normal temperature of say 30 deg.C. It it is a full block of Ice foundry made it will take about 7-10 hours. These blocks are used for preserving dead bodies. Secondly the temperature in which the ice kept counts a lot. If the temperature is increased melting will be faster. Thirdly, the components of the water used for making ice also count.
-
That would depend on temperature and volume of ice.

Thank you guys for the help When I did the experiment it took me 3 hours and 15 minutes for a cup of ice
