What do you think are the answers?
You used "are" correctly in your question...
When you have the construction [number] of [noun] the verb agrees with the number.
One of my friends IS -- One is
Two of my friends ARE - Two are
Why don't we say "there are two glasses of water" then?
In grammar, when we say we can't count water, we mean we cannot say "one water, two waters, etc. But 'Two glasses of water are ... " correct because we are counting 'glasses', not water.
I hope I've given you a clear picture in regard to the usage.
So I would say both are correct, depending on where your emphasis lies. Or is it a British versus American thing? Although English is not my native language.
