You would change the less than sign "<" to greater than ">" in the formula and click on "Format" to modify the background color.

A1 11
A2 22
Would I show it as

No, the "<>" symbol means when A1 does not equal to A2. To get an exactly half condition would mean adding the "=" to the greater/less than sign.
For example, if you want A1 less than or equal to 1/2 of A2, the formula would be:
A1 <= A2/2
