Answer: 2/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 coins all together, and 2 pennies which means there is a 2/12 chance to draw a penny. Then they replace the penny and draw another time, so by replacing the penny the probability doesn't change and there is still a 2/12 chance of drawing a penny.
