How much sand is needed for relaying 5 paving slabs in a driveway 3 by 2 in size?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

It is not normally recommended to lay slabs on a driveway. If you are, you will need to ensure the base is solid. Normally a drylean base is laid for slabs on a drive. The slabs can then be laid on a full mortar bed. 5 bag of sand and 1 cement should be more than enough

You will need to relay the 3x2 flags on a solid bed of sand and cement mix . If you just lay on sand they will only move again or even brake
