Determine the magnitude of his horizontal recoil velocit

A 12373-kg ice skater is standing at rest on a frozen lake. The friction between his skates and the surface of the ice is negligible. If he throws a 5454 kg block of ice horizontally with a velocity of +5.7 m/s (relative to the ground), what is the magnitude of his recoil velocity (relative to the ground)?
