Calculate E°(cell) for the reaction

Calculate E°(cell) for the reaction, 2 IO3-(aq) + 10 Fe2+(aq) <=> 10 Fe3+(aq) + I2(aq) given the reduction potentials:

Fe3+(aq) + e- <=> Fe2+(aq) , E° = 0.87 V

2 IO3-(aq) + 10 e- <=> I2(aq), E° = 1.10 V


I am confused why the answer is +0.23

I thought the answer would be -0.23 because Fe3+ is on the opposite side or does that not matter?
