Starting from rest, two skaters push off against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is

Question:

Starting from rest, two skaters push off against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. One is a woman and one is a man. The woman moves away with a velocity of +2.5 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 54kg, and the mass of the man is 88kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 3.0m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of the man relative to the ice.
