Multiple Choice

A supply chain analyst is determining the acceptable tolerance range for shipping delays, represented by zz, using the inequality 15<35z-15 < \frac{3}{5}z. To solve for zz, the analyst multiplies both sides by the reciprocal, 53\frac{5}{3}. Recalling the properties of inequalities, why does the direction of the inequality symbol remain unchanged (resulting in 25<z-25 < z) during this calculation?
