The earth and Mars move in different orbits around the sun at different speeds. Therefore there is no single numerical answer to the question. There is however a minimum and maximum. See the link below.

More than 30 million miles, but less than 240 million.

When earth is at aphelion (furthest distance from the sun) and Mars is at perihelion (closest distance) and both planets are lined up on the same side of the sun, the distance shrinks to under half an AU, or 46 million miles.

When earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the sun, both at aphelion, the distance is maximized to 2.5 AU (232 million mlies).

On average the distance could be approximated by the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 1 and 1.5 AU, about 1.8 AU or 167 million miles.

This depends greatly on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. At any point in time Mars can be anywhere from about 35 million to about 230 million miles away.
