Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number in the mixed number and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part. In this case, $42 \div 5 = 8$ with a remainder of 2, so the mixed number is $8 \frac{2}{5}$. Thus, the correct choice is $\boxed{	extbf{(C)}}$.
