The Partition would have separated the Mandate for Palestine into a Jewish State, an Arab State, and a separate UN-governed area for the Old City of Jerusalem. However, since fighting broke out immediately after the UN Resolution was signed, the only effect of the Resolution was to grant legitimacy to the presence of two states, one Jewish and one Arab in the land of Mandatory Palestine.

About 70% of the area designated for Jewish administration under the 1947 UN partition plan. After the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Israel controlled over 98% of the territory it was accorded by the UN Partition Plan and exercised control of 78% of the territory of the former Mandate of Palestine (as opposed to the 56% percent that Israel was accorded in the UN Partition Plan).
Did the United Nations give Jerusalem to the Israelis under the 1947 partition resolution?
The Partition Plan did not give Jerusalem to the Israelis. The plan was for the Jerusalem/Bethlehem area to be put under international control, from the United Nations itself and entirely surrounded by the proposed Arab State. Although, when the area became a hotspot in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, no UN peacekeepers were dispatched to the area to defend its "internationalness".
How many states did the United Nations propose dividing Palestine into?
It depends on how the question is read. If it is referring to UNGA Resolution 181 (II), which was passed in 1947 and was designed to deal with the British Mandate of Palestine, it was divided into 2 countries - Israel and Palestine, but the UN had proposed that the city of Jerusalem be made into a separate, international city. However, as a result of nearly 70 years of conflict, the current plan is to have the Eastern Jerusalem as the capital for the Palestinian State and the Western Jerusalem as the Capital for Israel State. Israel insists to have the whole Jerusalem as Israel capital.
Where is the dividing line between Israel and Palestine?
There is no international boundary, just an armistice agreement. In 1948 the British Mandate over Palestine was ended, the UN proposed a partition which was rejected by the Arabs and a civil war then ensued. At the end there was Israel and two parts of the Palestine mandate, one in Gaza under Egyptian control and the other in Judea and Samaria which then became the west bank of the kingdom of Jordan.
