Depends on your ratio.
One cube of sand is 1.5ton
One cube of ballast is 1.75ton
One cube of cement is 2ton
If you do 4:2:1 you need
Ballast
1.008/7*4=0.576cube
1750*0.576=1008Kg
Sand
1.008/7*2=0.288cube
1500*0.288=432kg
Cement
1.008/7=0.144cube
2000*0.144=288kg
Always get abit extra incase.
Sorry for the initial maths, it is Friday night.

Speak to the relevant concrete division/ give dimensions and in return they will give you the cubic meters needed / ask you what strength you want the concrete/give you slump options on how much workability you need the concrete and if needed they can also offer you retardant shall you not want the concrete to set to quickly. Hope this helps
