The ratio of hits to times at bat for Melissa is 6/20 = 3/10.
The ratio of hits to times at bat for Billie Jo is 9/t.
Since the ratios are equal, we can set up the following equation: 3/10 = 9/t.
Cross-multiplying, we get 3t = 90.
Dividing both sides by 3, we find t = 30.
Therefore, the value of t is 30. Answer: \boxed{30}.
