No way.
Just like everyother math problem out there, it depends on the size of the numbers. The only thing special about fractions is that they're not whole numbers.
Dividing by a fraction- 2/(3/2)=(4/3), and 4/3<2 and < 3/2
Multiplying- 2*(3/2)=3, 3> 2 and >(3/2)
Neither of the two statements you made are true.
