Mandy started skating 1hr earlier than Nikki
      she's skating at 5mph

Nikki is skating at 6mph

so let's see what happens after a few hours $\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{hours passed }&Mandy&Nikki\
\hline\
1&5miles&0miles\
2&10miles&6miles\
3&15miles&12miles\
4&20miles&18miles\
5&25miles&24miles
\end{array}$

what do you think?
