No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.

What is the fastest way to melt ice with salt and use the least amount of salt at the same time?

To melt ice quickly using the least salt, sprinkle a small amount of salt over the ice in a single layer. The salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt. Avoid using excessive salt, as it can harm nearby plants, animals, and soil when it dissolves and runs off.

Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?

Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.
