Does cubed or crushed ice melt faster?
Crushed ice melts much faster than cubed because crushed ice is smaller. Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air or liquid its in. It is also less dense and will be more subject to temperature change because of it.
Why does crushed ice melt faster than cubed?

If the crushed ice was in water will it melt faster than crushed ice by itself in a cup?
Yes, crushed ice will melt faster in a cup of water than in a cup by itself. This is because the water is a higher temperature than the ice.
Which melts fastercrushed ice or ice cubes?
Yes because crushed ice has a greater surface area to volume ratio that a cube of ice. The greater this ratio the faster heat energy is transfered to the frozen water this then causes the particles within the ice to vibrate faster so the ice turns into water faster.
