Please tell me how we use "No more than" and "no longer than" ?

much=quantity

I like that book no more than I like this one = Objectively I like both these books the same amount.

longer = time/duration of time

It will take no longer than 12 hours to fly to America

The school is no longer open.

longer = length

The rope is no longer than 20 feet.

The road to the hills is no longer than 5 miles.
