The problem asks us to determine the new ratio of lemon juice to sugar syrup in a new mixture.

### Problem Summary:
- A mixture contains lemon juice and sugar syrup in equal proportions (1:1 ratio).
- A new mixture is created by mixing this existing mixture with additional sugar syrup in the ratio of 1:3 (one part of the original mixture and three parts of sugar syrup).
  
### Solution:
Let’s define the quantities involved:
- In the original mixture, lemon juice and sugar syrup are in equal amounts. For simplicity, assume 1 unit of lemon juice and 1 unit of sugar syrup in the original mixture.
- Now, when this original mixture is mixed with sugar syrup in a ratio of 1:3, we are adding 3 units of sugar syrup for every 1 unit of the original mixture.

1. In 1 unit of the original mixture, we have:
   - Lemon juice = 1 unit
   - Sugar syrup = 1 unit

2. Now, add 3 more units of sugar syrup (as per the 1:3 ratio):
   - Additional sugar syrup = 3 units

Thus, in the new mixture, the total components are:
- Lemon juice = 1 unit (from the original mixture)
- Sugar syrup = 1 unit (from the original mixture) + 3 units (added separately) = 4 units

### Final Ratio:
The ratio of lemon juice to sugar syrup in the new mixture is:
\[
\text{Ratio of lemon juice to sugar syrup} = 1 : 4
\]

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. What if the original mixture had a different ratio, say 2:1? How would the new ratio change?
2. How does the ratio change if the amount of sugar syrup added is different, say in the ratio 1:2?
3. What is the total volume of the final mixture if we start with 5 liters of the original mixture?
4. How do we calculate the ratio when more than two components are involved in the mixture?
5. How does the ratio help in determining the concentration of components in a solution?

**Tip**: Always start by simplifying the problem with smaller, easily manageable quantities when solving mixture ratio problems. This approach helps avoid errors.

A mixture contains lemon juice and sugar syrup in equal proportion. If a new mixture is created by adding this mixture and sugar syrup in the ratio 1:3, then the ratio of lemon juice and sugar syrup in the new mixture is?
