volume will ice decrease when it melts and turns back into water ??? please thank you .....

As water increases its volume by (1/11) on freezing.Hence, for unit quantity of water the volume of ice would be (12/11) units. Hence on melting ice would lose its volume by (1/11). So for (12/11) units of ice shrinks by (1/11) on melting=> the volume decreases by (1/11)/(12/11)=(1/12).So it shrinks by (1/12)th part.
