There are 27 cubic feet in a yard, so you need 27 x 1.5 or 41 cubic feet.
60 lb bags make 1/3 cubic foot, 80 lb bags makes 1/2 cubic foot.
You would need: 123 bags at 60 lbs, or 82 bags at 80 pounds.
Your job is too large for bag mixing. Believe me, that redi-mix truck will look like a bargain afterwards.

It should say on the bag, I believe it's something like one third of a bag equals one Yard so= three bags per year and about five bags should do it. It's only a guess I'm sure there are some cement layers out there that know more than I do.

1.5 yards is way too much for Ready Mix. You can rent a portable mixer and mix it yourself or you can have a truck deliver.

ol' cowboy is right, look on the side of the redi-mix and it will tell you how many bags that you will need. just prep the area well and be sure of the drainage.

you can do a google search for concrete... you should be able to find a calculator that shows you what you need to know
