Have you tried it? As Audacity is free, you haven't got much to lose....
(Probably worth working on a copy until you're sure it does what you want.)

Open the Help window and Search for "resample" or "sample
rate". Audacity claims to have an automatic sample rate
converter that resamples files of different rates to the
rate of the project (which you can set). Read all the stuff
in the file.

Maybe the info you need is in there.

Just a thought.

Or you could download something like GoldWave that has a
more obvious "Resample..." function.
