Hi there.

I added a question as an image, what is the right way to find the momentum?

Im aware of that. However could you please address the question in the picture? Which way is wrong, and why?
 
I was[/] addressing the pic.
The pic includes the question "What is the momentum of the moving particle?"
You wanted to know the right way to go about it - I told you.

It seems I misunderstood.
Define "right way". (What makes you think there is a wrong way in there?)
The pic shows you how to solve for two contexts in relation to the center-of-mass.
