notice that constructions involving numbers and units are, generally, singular - even if they aren't prefaced by such things as 'balance' or 'rest'. for instance, fifteen dollars is far too much to pay for this item --> correct fifteen dollars are far too much to pay for this item --> incorrect
same with feet, gallons, inches, ohms, amps, etc. any quantity measured in these sorts of units is almost always singular, since units aren't things that are literally counted. |
