This is a problem that needs to be done in three steps:
1. Find heat required to bring ice from -20.0 deg to 0 deg.
2. Find heat required to melt ice.
3. Find heat require to bring ice from 0 deg to 60.0 deg.

1. Find heat required to bring ice from -20.0 deg to 0 deg.
m = mass of ice
c = specific heat of ice
delta T = change in temp (0 - -20.0 = 20.0 deg)
q = mc delta T = 10.0 g x 2.1 J/g/deg C x 20.0 deg = 420 J

2. Find heat required to melt ice.
kJ must be converted to J, because all of the answers are in J. 18.02 g/mol is the molar mass of water.
q = delta H (fus) x moles = 6.0 kJ/mol x 1000 J/kJ x (10.0 g/18.02 g/mol) = 3330 J

3. Find heat require to bring ice from 0 deg to 60.0 deg.
m = mass of water
c = specific heat of water
delta T = change in temp (60.0 -0 = 60.0 deg)
q = mc delta T = 10.0 g x 4.18 J/g/deg C x 60.0 deg = 2508 J
Add them all together, and account for sig ...
