In this paper the author writes a simple characterization for the best copositive approximation to elements of $C(Q)$ by elements of finite dimensional strict Chebyshev subspaces of $C(Q)$ in the case when $Q$ is any compact subset of real numbers. At the end of the paper the author applies this result for different classes of $Q$.
