I'm an idiot. 30 FPS when I needed 24!

So I shot at 30 fps and a shutter speed of 1/50th on my 5D for a documentary that I'm working on. Im not really against the 30 fps for the interviews (which I got today) but is it possible to edit both 30 and 24 in Final Cut on the same timeline? I'm adding B-Roll that I'll shoot in 30 FPS. Should I convert the 30 to 24 even though I shot at a shutter of 1/50th? Will it look strange? The audio was recorded on an external recorder so I can work with it any way I want...any methods of coversion or tips? Thanks, this is a pinch situation.

FCP can deal with different formats of frame rates on the same timeline, but of you drop the native codec (24fps & 30 fps) it may wish to render one dependant on the sequence settings i.e. set to 24 fps the 30 fps stuff may need to render.
But if you log and transfere and your footage is transcoded to prores you should be ok, I dont own a 5D but you should be ok, will they look different slightly an interview should be ok if there were lots of motion you would notice a difference.
 
I wonder how the output looks? I'm going to give it a try, I just want to make sure that I'm not completely screwed. I will be converting everything to ProRezz
