Finding which of two metals in an electrochemical cell reduces

[physicsperson]

For an electrochemical cell containing two metals how do I figure out which one reduces and which one oxidizes using standard reduction potentials? Thank you very much for the help.

Study from a General Chemistry textbook. The principles will be well explained.

the species having the more positive standard reduction potential is the oxidizing agent.

the greater the value, the more feasible is the reaction.
