;
Since Goose and Blue Heron travel at the same ---> it cancels out, it's constant. And equating the 2 equations:
, cross multiply
----->
------------------------------------> Speed of Blue Heron
---------------------------> speed of Goose
To check, going back working eqn, they should travel at the same with their at their :
