I need to display the number of a question out of total number of
questions (example 6/18). What HTML tags should I use to build it
semantically?

There is no markup in HTML for expressing such relationships. Anything
you might build with <span> and class would be just your private
convention, though perhaps useful for styling.

However, at the text level, I would suggest using an expression like "6
(of 18)" or something similar. The slash "/" is heavily overloaded with
multiple and often conflicting meanings in text. Specifically, 6/18 is
could be a date (June 18), or a fraction (= 1/3), for example.
