yes, they would do the job. easier than working out the resistor values for yourself. they will just contain one resistor in series with the signal and one from signal to earth. resistor to earth is usually conected after the series one.
one way to work out the resistor values yourself would be to wire in a (volume) pot where you want to attenuate the signal and have a play until until you're getting the amount of attenuation you want. then measure the resistances the pot is giving at that setting and put in resistors of the same value. this way you could put in whatever flavour resistors you want e.g. tants, etc

see this for more info on loss pads (fixed attenuators ), includes how to calculate resistor values and some photos :
