Molality is known as moles of solute dissolved in per kg of solvent
So 1st we need to use molar mass of glucose to find moles in sample
3 * 1 mole of glucose / 180.16 g = 0.01665 moles og glucose
We know the moles of glucose disolved in 30 g 0f water
Now we need to sum up for per kg of water so converting mass of water from gram to kg
30g * 1kg / 10^3 g = 0.030 kg
Now 0.030 kg water contain 0.01665 moles of glucose . I kg of water will contain:
1 kg water * 0.01665 moles of glucose / 0.030 kg of water = 0.555 moles of glucose
So molality of solution is 0.6 molal solution

In order to know your answer firstly know about molality
Molality may be defined as the number of moles of solute that are  dissloved in a kg of water .
so firstly we have to calculate the moles of glucose
3*1/180.16 = 0.01665 ( as the molar mass of glucose= 180.1559)
These are dissloved in 30 g of water.
first convert mass into kilogram =30/1000= 0.030 kg
0.030 kg water = 0.01665 moles of glucose
so 1 kg of water=1*0.01665/0.030 = 0.555 moles of glucose
round about of 0.555 will be 0.6 which is our answer
