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.

11 AU = just over a billion miles, or 1.6 billion km.

Jupiter has an orbit with a radius of 5.2 astronomical units, while Saturn's orbit has a radius of 9.5 AU.

They both go round the Sun so the distance from one to the other varies between 9.5 - 5.2 and 9.5 + 5.2 AUs. That is 4.3 to 14.7 AU.
