Not Ranked
Roughly 11.11% of an ice cube will be above the water level. This part of the ice is not displacing any of the water it is floating in.
This means that if you have a 100 litre ice cube (ok, really big drink!), then 11.11 litres of that ice cube will be floating above the level of the water.
Ice generally has a volume 9% greater than that of water, so roughly 1 litre of volume will be lost when the ice above the water level melts. Also roughly 8 litres of volume will be lost whn the ice below the water level melts. This leaves you with 2.11 litres of water to raise the level of your glass.
