The answer depends on the understood base of operation; it depends on an acquired level of abstraction, and it depends on meaning of symbols and vocabulary.

However, to summarize briefly, 1 + 1 = 10 in base 2 since 2 is not a base 2 digit. In base 2, 10 represents 1 group of 2's and 0 ones.

(This is what is known as a binary number. The prefix bi- means 2.)
