Extend a workplace quantity pattern

Northstar's training diagram shows carton rows of 18, 24, 30, and 36. If the shown +6 rule continues for one more row, how many cartons are next?

Northstar training diagram

Each displayed carton row adds six

Proposed ruleAdd 6 cartons for the next displayed row
  1. 18+624Fits
  2. 24+630Fits
  3. 30+636Fits

ConclusionThe next displayed row contains 36 + 6 = 42 cartons.

The calculation extends the fictional diagram by one row; it is not a forecast of real inventory or staffing.
