How would you work this...
You are facing north. You turn 270 degrees counterclockwise. Which direction are you facing?
Is it West? You start out at 90 and go from there? I don't know...
Counter clockwise is the opposite from the way the hands on an analogue clock move.

You start out at 0, facing north. Turn 90 degrees counter clockwise and you're facing west. Turn another 90 degrees and you're facing south.
Continue from there.
To determine the direction you are facing after turning 270 degrees counterclockwise, let's break it down step by step.
1. Start by visualizing the initial direction you are facing, which is north.
2. Turning counterclockwise means moving in the opposite direction of the clock's rotation.
3. To turn 270 degrees counterclockwise means you would make a full 360-degree turn and then an additional 270-degree turn in the counterclockwise direction.
4. Since 360 degrees make a complete circle, subtracting 270 degrees would leave you with 90 degrees remaining.
5. Thus, after turning 270 degrees counterclockwise from facing north, you would be facing east.
So, the correct answer is east, not west.
