The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2 1/4) x (3 1/8) x (2 1/2)

First, convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Volume = (9/4) x (25/8) x (5/2)

Now, multiply the fractions:
Volume = (9 x 25 x 5) / (4 x 8 x 2)
Volume = 1125 / 64

Now, simplify the fraction:
Volume = 17 37/64 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 37/64 cubic feet.
