The question was, how should slaves be counted for the purpose of Congressional representation? The South wanted to count all slaves as "population", because this would increase the number of Representatives from the slave states. The northern states didn't want to include slaves AT ALL; if they weren't fully citizens and couldn't vote, why should they be counted for purposes of representation? The "three fifths" compromise gave southern states some additional Congressional representation, without giving the South an overwhelming advantage.
What was the representation compromise?
The Representation Compromise gave both large states and small states the type of representation they asked for. This was done by changing the representation standards in the houses of Congress.

Smaller states wanted equal representation, despite population size. This was accepted by the Senate, in which all states have the same number of representatives.
