Chemistry Question on Chemical Reactions

The standard reduction potentials (Eº) for the following half-cell reactions are
Zn2++2eZn  Eº=0.76VZn^{2+} +2e\rightleftharpoons Zn \space Eº = -0.76 V
Fe2++2eFe  Eº=0.44VFe^{2+}+ 2e \rightleftharpoons Fe \space Eº = -0.44 V
The (Eº) for the cell reaction Fe2++ZnFe+Zn2+Fe^{2+} + Zn → Fe+Zn^{2+} will be
