Squids rely on jet propulsion, a versatile technique to move around in water. A 1.5 kg squid

Question:

Squids rely on jet propulsion, a versatile technique to move around in water. A 1.5 kg squid at rest suddenly expels 0.10 kg of water backward to quickly get itself moving forward at 3.0 m/s. If other forces (such as the drag force on the squid) are ignored, what is the speed with which the squid expels the water?
