To solve \( 42 \div 7 + \frac{1}{5} \), we need to follow the correct order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. First, we divide 42 by 7:
   \[
   42 \div 7 = 6
   \]

2. Then, we add \( \frac{1}{5} \):
   \[
   6 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{31}{5}
   \]

So, \( 42 \div 7 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{31}{5} \), which is equal to 6.2 in decimal form.
