In a galvanic cell

If there are 4 reactions happening at the same time

how do you know which one is at the cathode and at the anode by using the electro chem series?

The strongest oxidant and strongest reductants will react with each other, then you can see which is oxidation and reduction. THen which is cathode and anode :)

The stongest oxidants and reductants will react first/preferibly (i.e. the highest on the left and lowest on the right). After they have all been used up the next stongest oxidant and reductants will react next and so on. Cathode will be the one undergoing reduction and the anode undergoing oxidation.
