Step-by-step explanation:

At least means greater than or equal to, so that is the symbol we will use. Now, we want the inequality to compare the distance she plans to jog and the amount of time jogged multiplied by the speed, since time times speed equals distance.

Writing this out we get 1.5 ≤ 3.75x

so 1.5 will always be less than or equal to the distance jogged. let me know if there is something you don't understand. But after this just solve for x.
