I found $6.74×10^(24)$ Cu atoms.

In one mole you have Avogadro's number ( $6.022×10^(23)$ ) of objects, in this case 'formula units' of $Cu_2O$ .

So, in $5.6$ moles we have:

$5.6×6.022×10^(23)$ formula units of $Cu_2O$ , each one with $2$ Cu atoms giving:

$2×5.6×6.022×10^(23)=6.74×10^(24)$ atoms of Cu...
