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

Explanation:

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#
