If one foot of model is equal to 87 actual feet, then you'd multiply the 3 feet of model by 87 actual feet to get 261 feet.
A model is built to a scale of 1 ft as 87 ft. That means that actual size is 87 times as mush as the model size.
Let the actual length be x ft.
Hence for model airplane which is 3 feet long , actual plane length must follow the equation
87/1 = x/3
x = 3*87 = 261 ft long.
Therefor the actual airplane is 261 ft. long.
