It varies since both orbit the sun at different rates.
One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the earth and sun. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the sun, while Saturn is about 10 AU. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is 5 AU when they're both on the same side of the sun, and 15 AU when the sun is directly between them. The average distance would be sqr(5² + 10²) AU or about 11 AU.

∙ 9y agoJupiter's orbit has a mean radius of 5.2 astronomical units, and Saturn's has a radius of 9.6 AUs.
So, if we assume circular orbits, the distance from one to the other varies from a minimum of 9.6-5.2 AYs to 9.6+5.2 AUs. That is 4.4 AUs to 14.8 AUs.
At their closest Saturn would be seen as a very bright object from Jupiter, while Jupiter would be invisible from Saturn as it would be in line with the Sun.
