We study three sub-regions in the HII region N11 which is located at the northeast side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We used CO and CO J=3-2 data observed with the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) with an angular and spectral resolution of 22 and 0.11 km s respectively. From the CO J=3-2 and CO J=3-2 integrated maps we estimated, assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium, masses in about M for the molecular clouds associated with each sub-region. Additionally, from the mentioned maps we study the CO /CO integrated ratios for each sub-region, obtaining values between 8 and 10.
