Quick Gear Ratio Question

79BIG10 tried to explain to me how to do a quick-and-dirty assesment of my gear ratio. However, don't think I understood it right. Anyway, I counted 3 full turns of the rear right tire and about 4 1/2 - 4 3/4 turns of the driveshaft. Anybody have a clue what ratio that is? I'm thinking it's a 3:73.

Also, what would be the best all-around ratio to have for a TH350 driving mostly street miles but highway miles every once in awhile?
