If both wheels are off the ground, and the trans is in neutral, the opposite wheel is supposed to turn the other direction. Bill in Oregon

I read an article on the web which says to jack up the rearend (both wheels) and turn one wheel a complete revolution while counting the revolutions of the drive shaft. I did just that and my drive shaft turns a little more that 2 1/4 turns ( the other wheel does not turn). Is this procedure correct? If so it does not make sense. My axle ratio could not possibly be 2.25 (or so) : 1. I thought it would be closer to 4 or 5 to 1. Any thoughts?
