Final answer:

A tanker shuttle operation can deliver a certain number of gallons per minute based on its transfer rate and capacity. However, the capacity of the tanker is not specified in the question, so we cannot determine the exact number of gallons per minute it can deliver without interruption.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine how many gallons per minute a tanker shuttle operation can deliver without interruption, we need to consider the transfer rate and the capacity of the tanker. According to the information provided, a car refueling at a gasoline station transfers energy at a rate of about 15 MW, with a transfer rate of 6 gallons (23 L) per minute. If we assume that the tanker shuttle operation operates at a similar rate, we can calculate the number of gallons per minute it can deliver.

First, we need to convert the transfer rate from gallons to liters. There are 3.78541 liters in a gallon, so 6 gallons is equivalent to 6 * 3.78541 = 22.71246 liters.

Next, we can divide the transfer rate by the capacity of the tanker in liters to find the number of minutes it would take to deliver the entire capacity of the tanker. If the capacity is not specified, we cannot determine the exact number of gallons per minute a tanker shuttle operation can deliver without interruption.
