Solution:

To find the measure of each piece, divide the total piece of wood (2 2/3) by the number of pieces Antonio wants to cut (4).

From the following, we obtained:

$\rightarrow 2 (2)/(3) / 4$

Convert 2 2/3 into an improper fraction:

$\rightarrow 2 (2)/(3) / 4$

$\rightarrow (2 * 3 + 2)/(3) / 4\\$

$\rightarrow (6 + 2)/(3) / 4\\$

$\rightarrow (8)/(3) / 4\\$

Simplifying the expression:

$\rightarrow (8)/(3) / 4\\$

$\rightarrow (8)/(3) * (1)/(4) \\$

$\rightarrow (8)/(3 * 4)$

$\rightarrow (8)/(12) = \boxed{(2)/(3)}$

Thus, Antonio should cut 2/3 of wood for each piece.
