The 3/5 compromise (three fifths compromise) was made in order to keep the Constitutional Convention going and to settle what to do with counting slaves into the population. What was decided was that three out of five slaves would counted as a total of a free person towards the population and taxes.

The states in the south wanted slaves to count as part of the population, but  since only 30% of all slaves were in the north, the south would become to powerful  because of how many representatives it would have. This is why the delegates decided to count only three out of five slaves as people, just so it would make power more equal in the states.
