Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a)

Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a) below. They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v= 0.330 m/s to the left. If the boy weighs 730 N and the girl weighs 462 N, what is the girl's velocity (in m/s) after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
