For reference, Wikipedia gives the following definition:

“The time signature (also known as meter signature,[1] metre signature,[2] or 
measure signature)[3] is a notational convention used in Western musical 
notation to specify how many beats (pulses) are contained in each measure 
(bar), and which note value is equivalent to a beat.”

I certainly interpret “note value” as “duration”, not “number”.
