1. We are given that 0.9 is greater than $1/2$.

2. Solution Steps

We need to compare each number with 1/2=0.51/2 = 0.5.
* For 0.06:
Since 0.06<0.50.06 < 0.5, we put a tick in the "less than 1/21/2" column.
* For 1120\frac{11}{20}:
We can convert the fraction to a decimal:
1120=11×520×5=55100=0.55\frac{11}{20} = \frac{11 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55.
Since 0.55>0.50.55 > 0.5, we put a tick in the "greater than 1/21/2" column.
* For 0.21:
Since 0.21<0.50.21 < 0.5, we put a tick in the "less than 1/21/2" column.

3. Final Answer

Here's the completed table as described.
| Number | Greater than 12\frac{1}{2} | Less than 12\frac{1}{2} |
|---|---|---|
| 0.9 | \checkmark | |
| 0.06 | | \checkmark |
| 1120\frac{11}{20} | \checkmark | |
| 0.21 | | \checkmark |
