how is it 2 if 1 and 1 mix together, shouldn't it be 11?
place value system means that 11 is the sum of one 10 and one 1
1+1 is 1+1 but writing that out is annoying so we have a special symbol for it called 2
1+1=2
actually 11 is 1+1+1+1+1+ 1+1+1+1+1+1 but writing that out is annoying so we decided that ten 1s would be represented by a single 1 in the 10s column so we have 11 which is really 1(ten)+1(one)
1+1 is 1+1 but writing that out is annoying so we have a special symbol for it called 2
