$Solution has been shown below.$ $"Solution has been shown below."$

Explanation:

The momentum of an object with mass of m and moving at a velocity of v can be calculated using the formula below.

$P = m \cdot v$ $P=m*v$

Firstly the equation above must be written for two situation.

$P = m \cdot v'initial case'$ $color(red)(P=m*v" 'initial case'")$
$P:initial momentum , m:initial mass , v:initial velocity$ $"P:initial momentum , m:initial mass , v:initial velocity"$

$\frac{P}{2} = 2 m \cdot x'final case '$ $color(green)(P/2=2m*x" 'final case '")$

$\frac{P}{2} : final momentum , 2m:final mass , x:final velocity$ $P/2:"final momentum , 2m:final mass , x:final velocity"$

Let's find the ratio of the two equations.

$\frac{P}{\frac{P}{2}} = \frac{m \cdot v}{2 m \cdot x}$ $P/(P/2)=(m*v)/(2m*x)$

$cancel(P)*2/cancel(P)=cancel(m)*v*1/(2 .cancel(m.) x)$

$2=v/(2x)$
$2*2x=v$

$4x=v$

$x=v/4$
