Final answer:

Kobe practiced basketball for a total of 4 1/30 hours on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of hours Kobe practiced basketball on Saturday, we need to add the two given times together. Since both times are in mixed number form, we need to convert them to improper fractions first.

Converting 1 7/10 to an improper fraction gives us 17/10, and converting 2 1/3 to an improper fraction gives us 7/3. Now we can add the two fractions together:

17/10 + 7/3 = (51 + 70)/30 = 121/30.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1. 121/30 simplifies to 4 1/30, so Kobe practiced basketball for a total of 4 1/30 hours on Saturday.
