If the question doesn't ask to round, you don't have to. However, usually you should round to the tenths or hundredths place. For instance,
Tenths: 53.7
Hundredths: 53.73

It does not ask which is why I was wondering if I should with long answers. Or it doesn't even matter. It would be the same answer.

If they do not ask, you should go for the long answers unless the number is really long. It always depends on the question if it asks or not. However, if you have a decimal in your answer, do not round to the whole number. That is considered wrong.
