Plural noun = are
Singular noun = is
Even if you leave off the "minutes", "Fifteen" is a plural noun so you use "are": "15 are left."

Answer is "15 minutes are left" . Here "are" is used becoz the word "minutes" is plural.

since 15 minutes isnt singular, the second one is correct

i agree with kja63. 'There are 15 minutes leftt' is the more suitable one, but if you have to choose between 'is' or 'are', the answer would be 'are'.

Minutes - more than one "are"
Only one "is"

are since minutes are plural

"are" - since minutes would be treated as plural noun
