Approximately 3.82 × 1016 miles. The Crab Nebula is approximately 6,500 light years away from earth.

To get a rough estimate

Knowing that light travels at 186,000 mps (miles per second), you need to convert the speed of light into mpy (miles per year), which is about 5.8 trillion miles/year. Then multiply by the number of light-years.

(The equation would be 186,000*60*60*24*365.25, then times 6500.)

This is about 3.815 x 1016.
