The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Given:
l = 2 ft
w = 4 1/6 ft = 25/6 ft
h = 8 1/2 ft = 17/2 ft

V = (2) * (25/6) * (17/2)
V = 25/3 * 17/2
V = 425/6
V = 70 5/6 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 70 5/6 cubic feet.

My previous response contains incorrect calculations. I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.

Given:
Length (l) = 2 ft
Width (w) = 4 1/6 ft = 25/6 ft
Height (h) = 8 1/2 ft = 17/2 ft

Volume (V) = l * w * h
Volume (V) = 2 * 25/6 * 17/2
Volume (V) = 2 * 425/12
Volume (V) = 850/12
Simplify the fraction:
Volume (V) = 70 10/12 ft^3
Volume (V) = 70 5/6 ft^3

Therefore, the correct volume of the rectangular prism is 70 5/6 cubic feet.
