There's a couple different ratios it could be. You have to either find the axle code located on the drivers side door tag, or crawl under the car and find the axle tag attached to the rear diff cover. If you can find either of those write down the info and post it back here.

You could also check the old fashioned way. By jacking the rear of the car up and turn the rear tire one complete revolution. While you turn the tire one revolution, check to see how many times the driveshaft spins. The number of times the driveshaft turns will give you an approximate rear end ratio.
