Answer: 0.85 L or
`(85L)/(100)` or
`(17L)/(20)`

Explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Landen spent time at the beach last weekend = L hours

And, Matéo spent 15% fewer hours at the beach than Landen did.

Therefore, Number of hours spent by Matéo = (Time spent by Landen last week - 15 % of the Time spent by Landen last week ) hours

= 85% of the Time spent by Landen last week

=
`(85* L)/(100)`

=
`(85L)/(100)` Hours

=
`(17L)/(20)` Hours

= 0.85 L Hours
