The average molecular weight of the mixture can be calculated using this formula:
MWav = x1MW1 + x2MW2

Where x is the mass fraction of the components of the mixture, in this case, copper (63.546 g/mol) and zinc (65.38 g/mol).
 
x1 = 7.36 / (7.36+0.51)=0.935
x2 = 0.51 / (7.36+0.51)=0.065

So,
MWav = 0.935(63.546) + 0.065(65.38) = 63.665 g/mol
