A very good substance for melting ice is table salt. This is because salt is highly soluble in water, and, as more NaCl dissolves in the water, the more this impurity will depress the melting point. Because the water's melting point will be depressed, it will start to melt above zero degrees Celsius.

(I'm not sure this is the best substance to melt ice, I simply put it here because of its solubility in water; if anyone knows a more soluble salt, then that will probably melt ice better) Sand is also really good to melt ice

Which method of heat transfer will melt a ice the fastest?

Conduction is the fastest method of heat transfer to melt ice. Placing the ice in direct contact with a warmer surface will transfer heat to the ice more rapidly than using convection or radiation.

What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or sugar?

You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."
