Answer: 39 ounces of strawberry juice, 78 ounces of water.

Explanation:

Since Molly uses "each ounce" meaning 1 per strawberry juice, 39 ounces of strawberry infused water would mean she uses 39 ounces of strawberry juice. Then, it says she uses two times as many as those 39 ounces of strawberry juice for water. This means you multiply 39 by 2 which means you get 78 ounces.

Molly uses 39 ounces of strawberry juice and 78 ounces of water to get 39 ounces of Strawberry Infused Water.
