Discrete-Time Signal Processing

page 101 to 112 is a clear discription of sampling rate conversion.

After reading this section, you'll see that the "correct" way to do it, when
compared to your suggestion of averaging neighbouring samples, only amount to
multiplying those samples by a factor before adding them up and dividing.
Of course, there is a bit more involved than that, but those additional details
involve shuffling data around, rather than doing arithmatic.
