Follow these steps to solve the given equation:

Multiply the two decimal figures together and find the sum of the exponents, that is,

(1.5 * 1.89) * 10 ^4+3

(2.835) * 10^7

10^7 can also be written as e.70

'e' stands for exponential.

Therefore, we have 2. 835 e 7.0 = 2.8 e 7.0.

Based on the calculations above, the correct option is A.
