Not necessarily
It depends how far you go when you turn left each time
If you turn 90° each time then yes you are correct, three left 90° turns = one right 90° turn
However 3 left 30° turns = 1 left 90° turn = one right 270° turn
Actually left turn by x°, followed by y°, followed by z° = right turn of (360 - (x + y + z))°

According to the old saying....
Two wrongs don't make a right but 3 left turns do.

They get you point in the same direction.
Right = -90º
3 Lefts = 90 + 90 + 90 = 270º

yes because it is 3 90 degree turns n 90x3=270 n 90x4= 360. 360-270=90 sooo yes

Absolutely - one more left turn and you'd be completely turned around !!

in most of the U.S., yes
in most other parts of the world, certainly not! ;-)
in Euclidian geometry, or in a standard geometry class, yes
