#0.00075 \ "m"# for the first one

#6.75 \ "m"# for the second one

For the first one, we need to look at the metric system:

So, we see that one decimeter is equal to one-tenths of a meter.

Therefore here, the answer in meters would be:

#0.0075color(red)cancelcolor(black)"dm"*(0.1 \ "m")/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)"dm")#

#=0.00075 \ "m"#

For the second one, one centimeter is equal to one-hundredths of a meter. So here, we would get:

#675color(red)cancelcolor(black)"cm"*(0.01 \ "m")/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)"cm")#

#=6.75 \ "m"#
