An amusement park has a collection of scale models, with a ratio of $1: 20$, of buildings and other sights from around the country. The height of the United States Capitol is $289$ feet. What is the height in feet of its duplicate to the nearest whole number?
$\textbf{(A) }14\qquad\textbf{(B) }15\qquad\textbf{(C) }16\qquad\textbf{(D) }18\qquad\textbf{(E) }20$
You can see that since the ratio of real building's heights to the model building's height is $1:20$. We also know that the U.S Capitol is $289$ feet in real life, so to find the height of the model, we divide by 20. That gives us $14.45$ which rounds to 14. Therefore, to the nearest whole number, the duplicate is $\boxed{\textbf{(A) }14}$.
