The ice will of course float on the water.

Q: But why?
A: Because it has lower density than water.

Answer is ice will float on water as it is having lesser density than water .

As the object that is having low density will float on a substance that is having higher density. If we compare density of water and ice we will found that ice is having low density that is 0.93 g/cm3 and water is having high density that is 1.0 g/cm3. So as ice is having low density than water it will float on water.
