Hello! The Three-Fifths Compromise addressed the issue of counting the population, so that there would be proper representation. Slaves votes would be counted as three-fifths of a person. With a lot of people in the U.S., it would be pretty much impossible to get the exact population. It was a controversial issue that had mixed opinions by the delegates. There were many of those that argued against slaves being counted at all.
