$3/4$ has a degree of $0$

The degree of a polynomial term is the (sum of the) exponents of the variables included in that term.

$3/4$ has no variables and therefore no variable exponents
$rarr$ it has a degree of $0$

Another way to look at it would be to write it with a variable:
$3/4=3/4x^color(red)0$
with degree $color(red)0$
