Answer: 13/42

Explanation:

You did 1/6 of the work for the week yesterday.

You did 1/7 of the work for the week today.

1/6 (from yesterday) + 1/7 (from today)

(1/6) * (7/7) = 7/42

(1/7) * (6/6) = 6/42

7/42 + 6/42 = (7 + 6)/42 = 13/42

You have completed 13/42 of the work that you need to do for the week.
