What molar quantity of potassium bromide is present in a 68.5*mL volume of a solution whose concentration is 1.65*mol*L^-1 with respect to the salt?

Approx. 0.1 mol KBr

Explanation:

"Molarity" = "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution".

Thus "moles of KBr" = 68.5xx10^-3cancelLxx1.65*mol*cancel(L^-1) = 0.113*mol.

I assume (perhaps wrongly!) that you quoted a "molar" concentration (i.e. mol*L^-1) with respect to KBr. You might have specified a "molal concentration", i.e. "moles of solute"/"kilogram of solvent", which is what ""m"" generally signifies. The answers would be similar.
