To find the value of \( M \) (in minutes) for a car that travels 60 km at an average speed of 400 km/h, we can use the relationship between distance, speed, and time.
The formula to calculate time is:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 60 km, and the speed is 400 km/h.
First, we can calculate the time in hours:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{60 \text{ km}}{400 \text{ km/h}} = \frac{60}{400} \text{ hours} = \frac{3}{20} \text{ hours}
\]
Next, we need to convert hours to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply by 60:
\[
\text{Time in minutes} = \frac{3}{20} \times 60 = 9 \text{ minutes}
\]
Thus, the value of \( M \) is:
\[
M = 9
\]
So, the answer is \( \boxed{9} \).
