Two spaceships are moving along the line connecting them. One of the spaceships shoots a missile towards the other. The missile leaves the attacking spaceship at 0.955c and approaches the other at 0.755c. What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships? Express it as a ratio to the speed of light. Let the relative velocity of the spaceships be positive if they are approaching each other and negative if they are moving apart from one another.
