This is mainly dependent on the mass and area of the ice in contact with the water, and the flow of water around the ice. Also any impurities in the water or ice will be influential.
Obviously it would take longer to melt an iceberg than an fridge ice cube, and longer to melt a flat piece of ice, than a cube of ice of the same mass, so the question is impossible to answer without more information.
In practice it would be complex to calculate and the easiest way to find out is simply by experimenting assuming the ice is not too large!

How fast does ice melt in cold water?
it really all depends on the temperature if the water is warmer than the ice it would melt in atleast 1 min if the water is freezing cold and colder than the ice then the ice will melt in an hour b/c the water will warm up to room temperature if it5 was boiling water it would obviosly melt in a few seconds or 2
When you have a cup of boiling hot water next to a cup with ice cold water how does the movement of the water molecules change in each case?
Equilibrium of temperature. The water is trying to reach the same temperature as the environment it sits in. a cup of hot water has a higher temperature than the room so therefore begins to cool. a cup of cold water has a lower temperature than the room and therefore begins to heat up. both reach equilibrium when at the same temperature as the room
Can you boil the water at room temperature?
yes,at room temperature by decreasing the pressure we can boil the water.
How fast does sound travel in dry air at room temp?
330 at room temperature
Specific gravity of water at room temperature?
1000Kg/M3
Does ice melt fast in room temperature or with salt?
It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube

Why does water always melt faster in room temperature water?
Because water has higher thermoconductivity.
Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?
ice melt in the room temperature
What substances melt at room temperature?
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
What will melt faster water or tea at room temperature?
tea, its hot so its going to melt it faster.
Does ice melt faster in room temp air or room temp water?
Ice will melt faster in room temperature air than in room temperature water due to the difference in thermal conductivity. Air is a poorer conductor of heat than water, which means that heat transfer occurs more slowly in air compared to water. Therefore, ice will melt more quickly in room temperature air.
Does water melt below room temperature?
Ice will melt when above freezing point. Most homes are a lot warmer than that!
Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
What does ice cream do when you leave it out for a while?
It depends on the room temperature. If the room temperature is 70 degrees then it will probably melt in 6 or 7 minutes.
What metal melt at room temperature?
Between metals only Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
What can't melt at room temperature?
Between metals only Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
