If you are discussing a specific amount of time, money, weight, distance, or volumne, which is considered as one unit or a total quantity, use singular verb. It is because measurements are treated as a single idea, instead of individual parts.
Examples:
- Ten miles is too far to walk.
- Five hundred rupees is not enough for the Rakhi gift.
- Two liters of water is enough for the recipe.
- Three hours is a long time to wait.
