The ratio of Melissa's hits to times at bat is 6/20, which can be simplified to 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 following equation:
3/10 = 9/t
To solve for t, we can cross-multiply:
3t = 90
Dividing both sides by 3, we have:
t = 30
Therefore, the value of t is 30.
