1. The problem asks to convert the weight of a load of bricks from tons to kilograms. 2. We know the conversion factor: 1 ton = 1000 kilograms. 3. To find the weight in kilograms, multiply the weight in tons by 1000. 4. Calculation: $$5 \text{ tons} \times 1000 = 5000 \text{ kilograms}$$ 5. Therefore, the load of bricks weighs 5000 kilograms.
