To find the distance on the map, multiply the actual distance by the scale:

Distance on the map = Actual distance × Scale

Actual distance from Tampa to Tallahassee = 275 miles

Distance on the map = 275 miles × (1 inch / 15 miles) ≈ 18.33 inches

Therefore, it would be approximately 18.33 inches on the map.
