Ohh...sorry I really don't know. I hired someone to put in a patio two years ago and it was a ton of concrete.
If you go to the pro desk at your local home inprovment store ther will be chart to help you.
27 cu ft in a yard. 12 x 18 x .66 = cu yds. order a tad more than what you need.
To figure concrete you multiply length X Width X Depth in Decimal and then / by 27,

12 x 18 = 216
216 x .66 = 142.5
142.5 / 27 = 5.3 yards

its just that easy.
To calculate cubic yardage of your pad and for future reference.
Length times Width (round up to nearest foot) times thickness in inches, divide by 300.
