The heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by
\Delta T is given by

Q= m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance

C_s is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature.

In our problem, the mass of the ice is
m=150 g, the specific heat capacity of ice is
C_s = 2.108 J/(g ^(\circ) C) while the increase in temperature is
\Delta T = -15 ^(\circ)C- (-30 ^(\circ))=15 ^(\circ), so the amount of heat needed is

Q=(150 g)(2.108 J/(g^(\circ)C)(15^(\circ)C)=4748 J
