$g=6$

Refer to the explanation for the process.

Solve:

$color(blue)(9)/color(blue)g=color(red)15/color(red)10$

Cross multiply each denominator by the opposite numerator.

$color(blue)9xxcolor(red)10=color(red)15xxcolor(blue)g$

Simplify.

$90=15g$

Divide both sides by $15$

$90/15=g$

Simplify.

$6=g$

Switch sides.

$g=6$
