Cellulose ( wood fibres as in newspaper ) is an insulator. The more layers of paper, the more effective the insulation.
Similarly, fish and chip stores of yesteryear used several newspaper pages to bundle up a takeout order of fish and chips, in order to keep them hot until you got home. Today, restaurants use styro-type packaging for the same reason.

Cube ice with a hole in the middle will melt faster. The hole increases the surface area and will allow more of the ice to melt at the same time.
Why does ice wrapped in newspapers do not melt easily?
The newspaper insulates the ice from heat.
Why doesn't ice wrapped in newspapers melt easily?
Ice melts because it absorbs heat from its surrounding. Wrapping ice around in a newspaper cuts down this heat loss to the surrounding. As a result, ice melts at a slower rate when wrapped in a newspaper than it would if left unwrapped.
Ice wrapped in newpapers does not melt easily?
Nothing like that, it depends on the external temperature
Why is it so that ice cubes wrapped in newspapers do not melt easily?
Wrapping ice cubes in newspapers helps slow down the melting process by insulating them from external heat sources. The paper acts as a barrier, reducing the transfer of heat from the surroundings to the ice cubes, thereby keeping them colder for longer.
Will ice melt faster wrapped in plastic foil and aluminum foil and put it outside or if you put it inside?
ice will melt faster wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap when you put it outside
Does an ice cube melt the least wrapped in aluminum foil?
if kept in the sun the ice melts

An ice cube wrapped in black cloth would probably melt first because the black cloth would be more conducive to absorbing heat from the surroundings while the aluminum foil would be more prone to reflecting it.
Why ice do not melt easily in a styro-box?
Because styrofoam is an excellent thermal insulator.
