I got: 6xx10^18 electrons

Explanation:

Current is a measure of how many charges (in Coulomb) pass through a section of your conductor in one second, or:
"current"="charge"/"time"
in your case you have:
0.5="charge"/2
so that :
"charge"=2*0.5=1C
One electron has a charge of 1.6xx10^-19C

So in our case we will have:

"number of electrons"="total charge"/"charge of one electron"=1/(1.6xx10^-19)=6.25xx10^18~~6xx10^18electrons
