Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

In the answer, it gives a formula f-ff=m(0) and afterwards simplies into 120 - ff = 0 and further into ff=120N. My question is how do you not have to divide by 0 to finish the equation if that makes sense. To simply further why are we able to ignore the m(0) portion?

That's what I thought too! But the answer choices it gave were 8 m/s, 4 m/s, 2 m/s, and 6 m/s so I'm confused. I went with 8 and it was wrong.
The answer for this problem would be "C" but could you explain me why? The reason for this is to understand this kind of problems in the future not only this one.
