Answer:We can use the formula:

Distance = Velocity x Time

To find out how far Joe has ridden on the bicycle.

First, we need to convert 15 minutes into seconds. 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds. So 15 minutes is equal to 15*60 = 900 seconds.

So the distance Joe has ridden is:

Distance = Velocity x Time

Distance = 9.0 m/s x 900 sec

Distance = 8100 meters.

Joe has ridden 8100 meters in a straight line for 15 minutes with an average velocity of 9.0 m/s south.
