$3/10$ miles.

How much are you running: $1/10$ miles per sprint
How many sprints are you completing: $3$ sprints

How many miles do you run in total:

$"number of sprints" xx "number of miles per sprint" = "the number of miles you'll run"$

Therefore:

$"3 sprints" * (1/10 \ "miles")/"1 sprint" = 3/10 \ "miles"$

Therefore, you'll run $3/10$ miles if you complete $3$ sprints.
