Final answer:

After calculating the unit rate of the egg rolls ($0.50 per egg roll), none of the options (A: $0.67 per hot dog, B: $2 per taco, C: $2 per burger, D: $1.20 per slice of pizza) match this unit rate. There is a discrepancy in the question as none of the provided options has the same unit rate as the egg rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which other food item has the same unit rate as 6 egg rolls for $3, we first need to calculate the unit price of one egg roll. The unit price is found by dividing the total cost by the number of items, which in this case is $3 divided by 6, giving us $0.50 per egg roll. Now, we have to compare this unit price with the unit prices of other food items provided in the options:

  • Option A (3 hot dogs for $2) has a unit rate of $2/3 ≈ $0.67 per hot dog
  • Option B (2 tacos for $4) has a unit rate of $4/2 = $2 per taco
  • Option C (4 burgers for $8) has a unit rate of $8/4 = $2 per burger
  • Option D (5 slices of pizza for $6) has a unit rate of $6/5 = $1.20 per slice of pizza

None of the options provided have the same unit rate as the egg rolls. There appears to be a mistake in the question because none of the unit rates for the options match $0.50 per item.
