The ratio of Melissa's hits to times at bat is 6/20 = 3/10.
The ratio of Billie Jo's hits to times at bat is 9/t.
Since the two ratios are equal, we can set up the equation: 3/10 = 9/t.
To solve for t, we can cross multiply: 3t = 90.
Dividing both sides by 3 gives us t = 30.
Therefore, the value of t is 30. Answer: \boxed{30}.
