well, line them up and make sure they end the same. Then, see if they meet the same point. If it's something like 32/100 and 23/50, it might be best to use a ruler. Also, the slightest bit of aprt will mean they aren't equivalent

If the stripes are not lined up equally then they are not equivalent.
