Ice cream cake for everyone

My teacher gave us a task in maths and it was about how much people would be able to eat the ice cream cake and how much ice cream cake would people eat. It was extremely complicated the problem was that there were bakers in Beijing that made an ice cream cake that was 4.8 meters long 3 meters wide and 1 meter high. Our group decided that 512 cm3 was enough for one person. What I did I converted 1 meter into 100 centimetres then converted 3 meters into 300 centimetres and then I converted 4.8 meters into 480 centimetres. Then I multiplied 480, 300 and 100 to make 14,000000 then I used the calculator to divide 14,000000 into 512 then it gave me 28125. so my answer is 28125.
