Answer:

1/15

Explanation:

A two-digit whole number is a number from 10 to 99.

There are 90 such numbers.

For a number to have an integer square root, the number must be a perfect square. Now we need to know the number of 2-digit perfect squares.

It's easier to find that out by listing them:

16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81

There are six 2-digit perfect squares.

When we choose a 2-digit whole number at random, we have:

The desired outcome is one of 6 numbers.

The total number of possible outcomes is 90.

p(number with integer square root) = 6/90 = 1/15
