1. Begin with the given proportion:
   $$
   \frac{u}{12} = \frac{3}{11}
   $$

2. Cross-multiply to solve for $$ u $$:
   $$
   11u = 3 \times 12
   $$

3. Calculate the product on the right side:
   $$
   11u = 36
   $$

4. Divide both sides by $$ 11 $$ to isolate $$ u $$:
   $$
   u = \frac{36}{11}
   $$

5. Convert $$ \frac{36}{11} $$ to a decimal:
   $$
   u \approx 3.2727
   $$

6. Round to the nearest tenth:
   $$
   u \approx 3.3
   $$
$$ u \approx 3.3 $$

Solve the following proportion for \( u \). \[ \frac{u}{12}=\frac{3}{11} \] Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
