Pluto's distance from the sun varies between 29,6 AU (at its closest or perihelion) and 49.3 AU (at its farthest away or aphelion) where 1 AU = 93 million miles,
Then you have to subtract 1 AU if the Earth is on the near side of the Sun to Pluto or add 1 AU if the Earth is on the far side of the Sun from Pluto,
So nearest possible is 28.6 AU (2.6598 billion miles) and furthest possible is 50.3 AU (4.6779 billion miles),

As Brucebirchall showed you - because the planets are constantly moving the distance between any two planets is changing every second of every day year after year. Sometimes planets are moving closer together, other times they are moving apart.

3,720,000,000 miles or 40 times further than it is from the earth to the sun which is 93,000,000 miles.
