the calculation so far looks correct 

so 240 - 52 = 188 inches

now divide by 11.4 

what every the answer is round down to the nearest  whole number and then ths 1st cart.. 

if you are keen it can be done as a term in an arithmetic series with 
find d

109 = 52 + (6 -1)d

57 = 5d 

etc 

then

a = 52 and d = 11.4 

so 

240 >= 52 + (n - 1)11.4

solve for n and round down to the nearest whole number... both solutions reach the same answer.
