The cattle at the Warren farm are fed 2/3 of a bale of hay each day. The horses are fed 3/4 as much hay as the cattle how many bales of hay are the horses fed each day.

To determine how much hay the horses are fed each day, we know that the cattle are fed \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a bale of hay daily, and the horses are fed \(\frac{3}{4}\) as much hay as the cattle.

To find the amount of hay the horses receive, we multiply the amount of hay the cattle receive by \(\frac{3}{4}\):

\[
\text{Horses' hay} = \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \times \left( \frac{2}{3} \right)
\]

Now, multiply the fractions:

\[
\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 3} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Therefore, the horses are fed \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a bale of hay each day.
