#8/3# or #2(2/3)# cups of orange juice are needed.

Explanation:

The formula for this can be written as:

#o = (2/3)s# where #o# is the amount of orange juice and #s# is the number of servings.

If the number of servings is #4# we can substitute this for #s# to solve this problem:

#o = (2/3)4#

#0 = 8/3#
