Not in my opinion, and I think not in mathematics. If the meaning of
3 is "three of something" how than do we calculate "three of something"
times "three of something"? Or "nine of something" divided by
"three of something"? Or more concrete, if I divide nine apples by
three apples what is the result?

three of something, where the "something" here means the unit.

What unit?
