See the step by step calculation below

First handle the two terms in parenthesis:

$3(color(red)(3 - 1))^5 + (color(blue)(1/2))^2 =$

$3(color(red)(2))^5 + (color(blue)(1/2 xx 1/2)) =$

$3(color(red)(2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2)) + color(blue)(1/4) =$

$(3 xx color(red)(32)) + color(blue)(1/4) =$

$96 + 1/4 =$

$96 + 0.25 =$

$96.25$
