Bags of Ready Mix? You've lost me - Ready Mix isn't sold in bags, unless you mean the pre-mixed over-priced stuff from the DIY sheds.

12' = 3.65m and 15' = 4.57m so total area = 16.7m² and therefore, at 100mm thick, you'd need 1.7 (ish) m³

Just how many of these silly bags that equates to, I don't know, as I'm not sure how much material is in each bag.
