Ice does float, but if you put in multiple ice cubes, the ice cubes underneath can't push up over and on top, so it looks like they're floating in the middle of the glass.

Why is it that the ice of the coke float in mcdonalds's doesnt melt easily?

The ice in a Coke float at McDonald's may not melt as quickly because the ice is typically made with a higher density, which helps it resist melting faster. Additionally, the cold temperature of the drink helps keep the ice from melting rapidly. Furthermore, the ice is often made with filtered water, which tends to have fewer impurities that can accelerate melting.

Why doesn't float an ice cube float in air?

An ice cube will not float in air because air has a lower density than ice, making it less buoyant. Ice is less dense than water, which allows it to float in water due to buoyancy. In air, the buoyant force is not strong enough to support the weight of the ice cube, so it will not float.
