Answer:

A real-life example of Boyle's law can be seen in a balloon. Air is blown into the balloon; the pressure of that air pushes on the rubber, making the balloon expand. If one end of the balloon is squeezed, making the volume smaller, the pressure inside increased, making the un-squeezed part of the balloon expand out. There is a certain limit to how much the air and gas can be compressed, however, because eventually the pressure becomes so great that it causes the balloon to break.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
