Backward direction relative to the center of mass


A body moving at 0.500c with respect to an observer disintegrates into two fragments that move in opposite directions relative to their center of mass along the same line of motion as the original body. One fragment has a velocity of 0.600c in the backward direction relative to the center of mass and the other has a velocity of 0.500c in the forward direction. What velocities will the observer find?
