00:03 Each time consider combining 2 digits, and then write down

00:06 Let's start by adding ones with ones

00:09 Write down the ones, and remember to carry 1 up

00:12 Add tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:19 Write down the tens in the tens place, and carry 1 to hundreds

00:23 Write 0 in the missing digits

00:29 Add hundreds with hundreds, and write in the appropriate position

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem using vertical addition, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically, ensuring the digits are aligned by place value:

$\begin{array}{c} 56 \\ + 44 \\ \underline{\phantom{776}} \\ \end{array}$

Step 2: Add the units digits (rightmost column). The units digit of 56 is 6, and for 44, it is 4.

Sum: $6 + 4 = 10$ .

Step 3: Write down the 0 from the sum (10) in the units place and carry over the 1 to the tens place.
Step 4: Add the tens digits (next column to the left). The tens digit of 56 is 5, and for 44, it is 4. Add these along with the carried-over 1.

Sum: $5 + 4 + 1 = 10$ .

Therefore, the sum of 56 and 44 is $\textbf{100}$ .

This corresponds to answer choice 1.
