    That block of ice, when melted, gives you 1,584 cubic cm of water. The reason is that at the same temperature ... zero Celsius ... the density of water is 0.9998 gram per cc, but the density of ice is only 0.9167 g/cc. Ice shrinks in volume when it melts. You can find the shrinkage ratio by playing with the densities.
