Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
import pandas as pd
(pd.DataFrame(True, list('ab'), list('cd')) * 1.0).dtypes
# returns object
type(True * 1.0)
# returns floatProblem description
A boolean frame multiplied by a float should return a DataFrame of floats to be consistent with python scalar operations (e.g., bool * float -> float). Instead it returns dtypes = object.
Prior to 0.21.0, I believe this was the case?
