Depends on the situation and which brake, front or rear.
Bad answers, there is no standard way to use the brake and clutch.

It is important to apply both the brakes at all the times in such a manner that neither of the wheels is locked. If you squeeze to much on the fron one and the front wheel locks then you will be thrown over the handle bar. Similarly if rear wheel is locked then the bike will skid. You must know that front brake gives around 60-70% of the stopping power. Be cautious and dont use front brake in middle of the turn. It will skid the bike. Always come to the managable speed as per your skill level before you start turning. Stop the throttle for a brief period when you start turning. While you are applying the brakes, press the clutch and shift do down gear and gently leave the clutch this will slow you down substantially. You will get a jerk but its ok. Keep on down shifting till you reach the neutral gear. Downshifting of gears stops you more effectively than braking. You must learn to do braking and gear shifting simultaneouly to stop effectively. But remember pressing the clutch during braking makes braking difficult. Once you press the clutch the connection between engine and transmission system is gone, and the vehicle starts moving freely. If you are unable to downshift during braking then don't unnecessarily press the clutch. You should press the clutch just before you come to complete halt and rest your foot on the ground. The earlier you press the clutch duing braking the more time you will require to stop. If you are on a slope then stopping becomes even more difficult only with the help of brakes. On slopes you should try to downshift the gears and release the clutch for slowing down your vehicle.

If your coming to a slow stop with plenty of distance I would recomend just using your clutch and letting the bike run down on its own, and shifting to first in increments. If your in traffic and don't need to make an actual stop you don't necessarily need your clutch at all, provided you don't squeeze too much on your brake. In regards to timing of clutch and brake, you can't go wrong if you engage clutch first. This will keep you from ever stalling your bike out, which can be very embarresing! Braking is something can only learn from experiance though, pretty soon you will do it without even thinking!

Case of emergency must hit clutch first and then immediately both breaks but try to hit rear one more harder as the front will skid you in case of emergency. In either case, one must reduce throttle to zero slowly and as bike slows down, should apply rear break first and then front break but try to use both breaks for better performance and lastly hit the clutch when the bike is near around 20 mph which will improve the milage. One more thing, In case like bumps or dimples try to use front break slowly rather than rear this will keep your bike in motion but still slow and if you use rear you will get the same result but without motion and that will need some throttle meaning loss of fuel. Rest is on our own counting. Happy Riding.

As long as you don't stall out (or come close), there is no absolutely wrong way. I prefer to grab the brake a little before the clutch.

It depends on the situation,if it's an emergency stop grab a hand full of brake first,believe me you won't go over the handlebars, raced for many years,of course I'm talking of dry pavement.

with enough practice you'll be doing both simultaneously, just go softer on the front brake, front brake is stronger than rear and can make you go flying over the handle bars
