Try it out. Calculate the square root of 996, and see if you get a whole number.
No. A natural number is a whole number, that is, no digits after the decimal point. Calculate the square root of 12 on a calculator, and you will see that it is not a whole number.
If you want to find x percent of a number y then you need to calculate y*(x/100). It makes no difference whether y is a whole number or not.
The same way you calculate averages with whole numbers: Add up all the fractions and divide by the number of fractions there are.
It is not the square of a whole number; but it is the square of a real number. If you calculate the square root of 23, you will get a real number. That real number times itself will equal 23. But the square root will not be a simple whole number. It will have an endless decimal fraction.

The average need not be a whole number, so just use the answer which the calculation yields.

Try it out! For example, you can use a calculator to calculate the number's square root. If you get a whole number - no decimals - then the number is a perfect square.
Divide the cost of the whole package by the number of eggs in the package.
You calculate the percentage and then round the answer to the nearest whole number.

The whole number, 6, can be written as 6/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
I wrote out all the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100 and counted them.
It can be any whole number. You really can't calculate the numerator based on the denominator.
