3/8 of a turn is 135 degrees: (3/8) x 360 = 135. So your idea (135 degrees over three steps) and what the book says (3/8 in the first three steps) are the same idea. And the Foxtrot turn does go 270 degrees in six steps: starting DC and turning left to end DW. Why do you think you are missing something?

In these first few foxtrot classes I have attended, I thought I learned a left box turn as a turn that would negotiate a corner, with six steps resulting in a total of more or less 90 degrees. If this is the same pattern that variability in degree of turn is surprising. That is the cause of my confusion.

Also, the left box video on this web site shows what seem to me approximately 270 degrees of rotation over four "slow quick quick" counts, which is 12 steps.
