When doing percentage do i multiply are divide?
To change a number into a percentage multiply it by 100.
What is the reason for the order of operations?
Those are conventions. Many people have gotten accustomed, over the years, to doing operations in a certain order. You can invent your own set of rules, but those would have to be clearly stated to avoid confusion... and it would serve no useful purpose. Having SOME order of operations defined is useful, to avoid having to write parentheses any time you have more than one operation.
Should you change a ratio from an improper fraction to a mixed number?
You should when doing calculations with it but otherwise, No.
