Makes sense. X is 1.5 metres.

1.5 is a number.

A number quantifying the length of an object in metres is a number.

X is as many metres long as Y is hours long.

The referent of the number quantifying the length of something in metres is 
a number.
(This is a false statement AFAIC.)

Everything except this last one makes sense to me.
