Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breaking the ice into smaller pieces will increase its surface area, allowing it to cool the contents of the cooler more quickly. The other options may not necessarily speed up the cooling process. Wrapping the ice in newspaper may insulate it and slow down the melting process. Draining water periodically may remove melted ice and replace it with fresh ice, but it does not necessarily increase the rate of cooling. Keeping the ice away from the food may prevent contamination but does not affect the cooling process.
