Ok 5mph = 2.2352 metres/second
Plough is 10m wide therefore he can plough 22.352 metres squared/s
That means he can plough 80467.2 metres squared/hour
1 Acre = 4 046.85642 metres squared
Therefore he can plough 80467.2/4046.85642 acres/hour = 19.88 acres/hour

This is assuming no time for turning around etc and that he drives in a straight line etc.

i worked it out the other round
an acre is roughly 64mtrs x 64mtrs. so 6 and a half passes or 6.5 x 64 = 614 linear metres at 10 metres wide
there's about 1610metres in one mile.
5mph = 5x1610mtr = 8050 meters per hour
divide 8050 by 614 = 1/13th of an hour (lets call it 1/12th to simplify)
how many 12ths in an hour = 60mins divided by 12 = 5 minutes.
so it will take 5minutes-ish.

Technically yes a square metre is 1mx1m square.
1 metre squared is an area that can be made up in a number of ways such as 1mx1m, 2mx0.5m, 3mx0.333m etc etc.
However they are the same area and therefore for this calculation the difference is irrelevant as an acre is also a unit of area. My calculation is correct and anwsers your question.
