Between #6# and #7#.

Explanation:

If you meant what two consecutive integers #2sqrt10#is between at, let's think of it this way.

Let the two integers be #x# and #y#. We can say that:

#x <2sqrt10< y #

We square all of them.

#x< 2sqrt10 < y #

=>#x^2 < (2sqrt10)^2 < y^2 #

=>#x^2 < 4*10 < y^2 #

=>#x^2 < 40 < y^2 #

We ask ourselves: What two perfect squarse is 40 between at?

Let's see...
#1,4,9,16,25,36,49...# Aha! #x^2=36# and #y^2=49#

Since #2sqrt10# is positive, it is between #6# and #7#.
